I gave a talk a few months ago and one of the pictures was Douglas Engelbart’s patent drawing for the mouse — the display is like an old radar screen or something, like a porthole on a boat. I thought that was pretty fascinating and sort of provocative — round displays.

You lose some pixels at the corners, but the continuity of the concentric circles would look very neat I think.
