I'm sure a lot of you read that article about how the production team used G4 Cubes as the computers to run all the visual effects on the ship screens?

My brother caught this when we were watching Star Trek DVD. On Episode 240, "The Good Shepherd" (season 6 DVD), after Crewman Harren gets into the escape pod, you can see the unmistakable Mac mouse cursor on the screen. Apparently someone else saw it too and you can see it circle around, then fly off the screen.

I thought it was neat that as the mouse curser went over the various interface elements, they lit up. I remember from the DVD Extras that they had several different types of interactive displays for the actors to work with. I guess that was one of them.
