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,
