Neat find

May not be a great find but I found it neat none the less.

Maybe some Trackball \ IBM collector may like it

These are cool, though not necessarily uncommon on eBay. I've never seen this particular variant in action, but based on some of the other ones I've seen, they seem really useful for 3D work.

Kinesis Advantage. Painted black, before they produced a black model. :)

It's rather remarkable that it went for under 12 bucks. How often do you see those? Even if you don't draw 3D models, it'd be a great addition to an IBM collection. Did anyone here get it?

Wow, that was cheap!  Not bad for a high-tech movie prop--except that it is a functional piece of computing history!

It would be cool if someone in the keyboarding community got it.
