Gigantor was controlled by Jimmy (Jimmie?) Sparks.  The Gigantor
control unit consisted of ONE lever that moved up and down in
a vertical slot.  Very impressive what could be done with that
one control...

Gigantor.  Gigantor.  Gigaaaaaaaaantor.
Gigantor's the space age robot!
He's at...your command.
Gigantor the space age robot.
His power is in your hands.

Bigger than big.  Taller than tall.  Quicker than quick.
Stronger than strong.  Ready to fight for RIGHT...against wrong!

Gigantor.  Gigantor.  Gigaaaaaaaaantor.

Notice that Jimmy's initials are J.S.  And Steve Jobs initials are S.J.
could it be that the control unit was really a "mouse" and that Gigantor was
the first draft at the LISA?  It is not worth thinking about, but it was worth
rambling about... Well for me anyway.
