Did anyone else catch the transmission on the NASA Select satelite channel at about 1600 Eastern time today? One of the shuttle crew was working with a mac portable running a eye/hand/trackball coordination program. The person giving the commentary indicated that the mac was going to be the portable used on the space station project replacing the currently used Grid portables. David Brightbill

Oh yeah...the most interesting thing about the broadcast was the gaffers (gray) tape holding the trackball to the case. I wonder if they buy the stuff at Kmart or get the special $500/roll low government spec bid stuff?
