Anybody heard of this marvel? Just saw the article at nuke (http://www.nuke.com) about the suncom SFX. Well, I opened my nearest computer catalog (which I recieve in the mail about 2 a day :-) and ordered it right away! What it is a gamepad like nintendo, genesis, with 6 buttons! It also has a turbo switch for all 6 buttons... But the best part is, it's a keyboard emulator! You press a button on the joypad, then on the keyboard, and that keyboard key is assigned to the gamepad! Imagine saving, loading, pausing games from a joystick! Imagine fighting games using all 6 buttons, even if they weren't designed for it, by using Keyboard emulation mode. Imagine games that never supported a joystick that now do! (No this is not a plug for Suncom :-) All in all, I really like it! P.S., I have a question that has nothing to do with Suncom: In the accepted "Nettiquete", when I have a smiley in a parentheses, can I close the parentheses with a smiley? Like: (Hi :-) Or, do I need to close the parentheses with a real parentheses? Like (Hi :-)) Thanks alot, -- [][][] [][][] []] [] / Jon Reinberg [] [] [] [][] [] / "What" [][] [] [] [] [][] / rein...@maroon.tc.umn.edu [] [][][] [] [] / http://www.umn.edu/nlhome/m447/reinb001/jon.html
