I once saw a very interesting input device, not sure what it was called,
connected to a Silicon-Graphics workstation. This device has a ball, about the
size of a baseball, which could be moved around on a stick (kind of like a
joystick), plus it had two rows of (I think) 5 buttons in front of it. It's
profile looked something like this:
                             _   .._      (the .. is the button panel)
                        ___ |_| /
                       /   \_|_/
Does anyone know what this is called or anything else about it? I was just
walking through the office when I saw it.
