After buying the 6D steering ball, we approached SGI and asked them
to support it. We think it's a fantastic device, and much in line
with the ``high-tech'' image of SGI. In particular, we suggested
they would hook it up to the Graphics Library, much like the Dial
and Button box which is also connected to an RS-232 port.
One of the big advantages would be event input from the ball.
Unfortunately, they were not interested, and would not release
source code of GL so we could do it ourselves. Pity.
