The Ikon, originally the product of the Canadian Educational Microcomputer 
project, and eventually sold to Burroughs (whence it disappeared more or less 
at 
once), had a wonderful, huge, heavy, inertia-rich trackball.  I fell in love 
with it 
immediately, and, when I couldn't have one, have wondered the world since, 
desperately trying to regain my lost love (or something even vaguely similar).

If determination, drive, and persistence were the sole qualifiers
of success, toddlers would rule the world.
