Any Freespace players here?  I've never played it and am thinking of 
installing it.  Does it run on modern computers, does it work with usb 
joysticks, any other issues I should be aware of?

Also, I've always had problems with joysticks slipping, flopping around, 
tipping over, and generally being awkward to use on a desk surface.  Any 
good setups to share!
