What?...the new N2demo requires a mouse?

by Michael E. Carv » Sun, 29 Sep 1996 04:00:00

[snipped comments by our mouseless friend]
:    In speaking for those of us who WERE planning on buying the sim in
: November, I think I will pass, unless of course, the shipping version
: does not require the extra hardware (and the expense).

Are we just trolling?  If not, then you must be one of those people who
driver their real cars without a steering wheel.  You know, those stupid
round things are just a gimmicky fad.  Just an added expense to driving
experience.  What real man would drive a car with a quiche shaped
device?!  Just lean into the corner.  Right?

Having looked at the header to your post, I can tell you are a REAL man.
Since you run Windows 95 without a mouse.  You must have a fine set of
balls to pull this off.  My hat's off to ya!

From poster's header:  X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0 (Win95; I)

Now get your hands away from your balls and put in on the mouse's ball
case and leave us alone.

Jees, does no-one appreciate irony any more?  Maybe the guy should have hung
out the big 'THIS IS A JOKE' flag first.....

Anyway, I thought it was the funniest thing I've read in days.  But then I've
lead a very sad and solitary life indoors since GP2 came out, so what would I
know....
