I have seen this sucker first hand about a month ago.  It is about
the weight of a // GS keyboard (remember those?) and kinda looks
like it also.  As for the cmd bar it exists just where it is
stated, and I can't imagine who was thinking of this one?  Can
you?

But what got me was the mouse.  man what a mistake!!!  It looks
a little like a shuttle cock (whatever those things are called
in badminton).  It kinda looks like a hybrid of this and a bat actually.
Well, it is another big mistake.  Boy, you would think that
NeXT would just quit messing around with experiments and
go with the 'JACK keyboard'  ;').
