RE: who is alex morton
Found this article about Alex Morton. He created a mouse in 1992, but not much on that either. http://www.robelle.com/ftp/newsletter/1992/w1992-06.txt MotorMouse: Just in Time for Christmas! A Vancouver inventor has come up with an entirely new way of driving your PC cursor: the MotorMouse. There are two models: exact miniature replicas of the Lamborghini Countach and Chevrolet Corvette. Alex Morton says he got the idea when he realized that the hand motion involved in moving a mouse around the desk was one that he had been using since he was a kid playing with toy cars. We want to put some fun back into computing, said Morton. MotorMouse comes with Cruise Control software for Windows, which allows you to change the standard arrow-shaped cursor to the car model of your choice. Not only is the image of the car driving around the screen realistic, but you finally can do something useful with the middle mouse button: sound the horn! The company plans to announce additional models in the near future. MotorMouse should be available from Egghead Software and Software Etc.
