This reminds me of Engelbart's "Mother of All Demos", with his mouse
and the chording thing. I've had a similar experience with the Shuttle
Xpress (or however they spell it), although that was more specific to the
workflow I was using at the time. The multi-touch trackpads are great,
although I do wish they could differentiate fingers somehow.
