Yeah, when I saw the rumors (on www.mosr.com and other sites), I
laughed my head off.  Especially since MOSR had posted some 
ridiculous "engineering renditions" of the new mouse.  First
it was a 20" cube.  Then 14".  Finally 7" or 8".  The more
it shrank in the rumors, the funnier it was.  

Lo and behold, a cube it was.  Looks like a toaster.  Now, I
can't decide whether I'm going to get a G4 Cube, or a G4 Dual.
Or maybe a PowerBook so I can really be the odd man out at the
TeamB picnic -- running JBuilder on MacOS X beta/DP 4.  

I may take you up on the Curmudgeon Porch anyway -- there's lots
to grumble about these days (not G4s though).
