Very cool. Is that a trackball next to the screen?

I love how HCI kept changing. If that is a trackball, it strikes me as being one of the better ideas - it would be a more comfortable distance from the user than a modern trackpad. My big Apple MacBook trackpad sometimes goes unresponsive when a fibre of wool jumper is touching it.

Yes, that's the trackball, and there is quit a lot of options in windows to customize it. I had to fix it first, it was stuck, but now it's fine for shorter sessions.
