[OT] I was watching a Open University Program last night, and amongst the
shots of various computers (several Sparc5s, so I guess it was made
1995/96ish) there were several dialogues that features scrollbars like so:

  *=============================================================*
  I +----+--------------------------+----+ I
  I | >> | | << | I
  I +----+--------------------------+----+ I
  *=============================================================*

(Notice the direction of the arrows). You grabed the arrows of the start
and end of the `selection bar' to change it's length. Of couse, you could
also click and drag the `main' bit of the bar to move the whole selection.

I thought it rocked, never (don't think anyway) seen one anywhere else.
