@nina_kali_nina Interlisp-D has provided a hourglass pointer icon since its earliest releases betwen the late 1970s and the early 1980s. I don't know when the first Interlisp-D version came out and whether it already had the icon but the system's display facilities didn't change much since then.
The 1983 edition of the Interlisp Reference Manual mentioned the hourglass icon, see WAITINGCURSOR here:
Anyway, I hope this is a step forward for Muslim Americans and Arab Americans*. And I hope Cuomo, Adams and Sliwa get righteously trounced and go slinking off to whatever sleazy den they crawled out of.
