Make sure you scroll down to the bottom and see some of the questions/comments the seller has gotten, pretty funny.

The best thing about the cube acution was the comments by some that how could one pay so much for "a piece of shit" old system.  Pretty funny to see how much of an idiot some people can make of themselves.

Holy S**T, and actual Cannon Cat, and in good working condition.  Too bad no printer or else it would be perfect.  Whats next, a NRW dev prototype??  A skid of Be Boxes??

Unlikely, but by the looks of those auctions it's possible.

I dont even want to guess what this will end up going for, as it has 4days left and is over $300.  Anyone ever seen one of these sell before, and for how much?

Lots of really neat stuff on ebay lately.

Ahhh..  Leave it to the Japanese and Canadians to accept such a radical and awkward concept like Raskin's "leaping" and predictive input (front (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasimode))..

Cool stuff.  We're only now beginning some of his concepts find their way to the surface.  With the coming of the mouse, we devolved into a state of extreme twiddling and fidgeting.  Now, as the iPod and Surface (TM) cometh, so returneth modelessness.

For some real fun you can demo Raskin's ZUI (Zoom User Interface 8mb)demo here:

And play with "leaping" around here:

Wow, a fight to the bitter end for that Penlite!

Speaking of Raskin and interfaces, this is a highly recommended read on the subject:
