  1. I really thought the days of downloading mouse cursors were over. I still remember the dinosaur.

    I don’t see the point anymore. At almost any given time it is a blur to us the way we work nowadays. And we never have to wait so much that we need an entertaning mouse cursor.

  2. I like how the guy apologized for calling it a mouse. Like oh geez these computer people are silly, but we call it a mouse, I hope that’s alright.

  3. If you’re having issues installing these on a work machine, or other computer you don’t have admin rights to, you can install the cursor’s manually in the cursor settings and save as a theme. Takes 5 minutes and it really is a much nicer set of cursors, although the multi-color hourglass wasn’t for me, so I used the mono set. Looks MUCH better than stock windows 8.1 (my work laptop). Re-enabled shadows, and it looks really slick.

  4. The most viewed shape is a mouse cursor? Yeah, thats a big absolutely no way. Th windows background might be the most viewed photo but photos were invented very recently in a historical sense. Shapes are as old as human perception. Photos are as old as 1826-1827ish. (Loved the rest of the video tho)

  5. I found it really interesting to see the mouse the first guy was using, with the cord coming backwards from the mouse instead of forwards. it makes the “mouse” name make way more sense since the tail is coming out on the back side.

  6. That hourglass is frustrating, it cycles the wrong way, as if the sand is going up not down like a real hourglass would. Don’t know why he would make that design choice.

    Otherwise cool stuff.

  7. I’ll try the new cursor design for a while. One thing that is noticeably different is the line thickness of the cursors. The text select tool might be the only one I find unpractically thick.

  8. If you’re at all interested in the Alto then try [curiousmarc’s channel where they completely restore and demo an Alto](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-_93BVApb58I3ZV67LW3S_JEMFnDrQDj) and its software, some pretty interesting stuff and likely some of the same applications that were shown to Apple way back then.

    The [final video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9H79_kKzmFs&t=0s&list=PL-_93BVApb58I3ZV67LW3S_JEMFnDrQDj&index=19) has the demonstration

  9. This was such a good video! It had a lot of work and research put into it, and it shows. Thank you for making it! 🙂

    I’m on the Like side of the fence on the hourglass cursor. That one looks super neat to me.

  10. What a bizarre video. When the odd singing kicks in around 8 minutes in it went from .. I can’t believe I’m watching this .. to .. wtf am I hearing??
