Quite interesting, given that the funder of Koala Technologies in 
reality wanted to manufacture mice, but found that the market was too 
small or under developed at the time, so they went with the KoalaPad 
instead. Apparently Mouse Systems Corporation didn't mind a possible low 
demand as these two products were released nearly at the same time.
