- Acorn has written an application called !Pointer(?) which allows the
- mouse pointer to be enlarged. It also allows the pointer to alternate
- between a number of psychadelic colours, and also be dynamically
- resized according to how fast the pointer is moving.
-
- It was included on the latest RISC User magazine disc as "Public Domain".
