What do you think will take its place? Multi-touch type input devices? I want a want a neural mouse :) One where I just have to think about the link I want to click, to go to that page.

So, you can spin and mouse freely without worrying about orientation, and the fluid spinning motion controls scrolling, video jogging, object rotation etc. Cheers, Laurence Hi Daniel

Neat as all heck to look at. An absolute <em>pain</em> to use. This might be better, but I'd have to actually try it to see. (How easy is it to grab without looking and have 'up' be 'up'?)
