@mwichary The terminal on top of the short-stack PDP-11s in the first picture is one of the most perfectly futuristic things I've ever seen. Any chance you remember what it is? [edit: Oop, nevermind, found it. DEC VT05 (or possibly VT8-E)!]
(Also I've never noticed the proofreading-style insert/delete keys before, but I love them)

Why do companies tried to make circular mice happen so hard? I think this is the third one I know of (after the iMac puck one and the later NeXT one).
@mwichary Postmodernism.

@mwichary Why? Because they are great for some people. The ball inside is round and it feels right to grab round things. Why do most companies go out of their way to make mice look like this odd shape that is like nothing you touch in normal life?
If today’s UI wasn‘t that hostile to single-button-no-scroll-thingie I‘d be rocking the puck every single day.
