As I recall, the Xerox 1108 InterLisp-D workstation uses a sandglass for it's
"watch cursor."  The sandglass contained sand, and as the routine tieing up
the processor progressed, the sand in the sandglass worked its way from the
top to the bottom.  Incredibly cute; sufficient that I was thinking of using
it to show progress in a computation loop in a stats package I'm writing.
