: : You're wrong about the "*no* current mouse hack can keep up with the fast, prolonged spin anyway..." part. My homebuilt one does just fine. You should do a little more research on that one...
: I apologized for that one already...Should I again? Somebody just shoot me please. Thanx.
It's not the apology that worries me... Myself, and many others, have seen long battles on this message board that you were involved in, and there tends to be an air of who's right and who's not in a lot of your posts. No offence meant by that, maybe that's just how you write. I guess the point being that I would feel a bit more comfortable with a product you hope to market if you knew a little more about it up front. Or if there are basic things you aren't aware of, take the time to educate yourself and test the products fully before you market them, nothing wrong with that, and you will have a lot less tech support and happier customers. :)
: Actually, I found a game of Arkanoid more easily controllable without the weight (tried both ways). The weight has momentum and when you are trying to reverse directions quickly and precisely, it's more difficult. If you really want a weight, add $3.00 to the price and i'll include one.
Arkanoid sucks... :P Okay, I suck at Arkanoid.
How's the flat-pack arcade machines doing, btw? I haven't seen any updates to your site lately.
