The Ferrari wheel started turning itself right on day two. It has been
returned to Game.

I will now be looking for a Logitech wheel.

Anyone know why the Wingman FF wheel doesn't appar to be available anywhere
in the UK?

If you dont mind paying top price for it (119:99) then ask your local
Curry's store to order you one from their central warehouse. They had
over 140 of them listed as in stock there just before xmas and NONE in
the stores. I had to jump up and down a fair bit to get them to order me
one as the dispatch from central warehouse is supposed to be computer
controlled, working on a store by store stock level.

When the store sells its last one re-ordering is automatic, trouble is
these wheels seem to have grown legs and have walked out of the stores
without deleting themselves from the computer records, so a catch 22
situation.......

Good luck.

Cheers Mike, I'll let you know how I get on. These damn bank holidyas are
making buying stuff really a pain.

Andi, (Just down the road in T/Wells).

I have a probably stupid question.

I don't have a key for the Pound symbol on my keyboard.  I can get one with
ASCII codes, but I don't remember which number it is.

My question is this:  Where is this located on the keyboard of a person who
uses it regularly?  Is it in the same place as my $ symbol?  (Shift-4)  What
other differences might there be in a keyboard used in GB?  And
furthermore..what about all those letters with the extra dots and lines and
accents on them that I see from people in Denmark, etc.

Just idle curiousity.  Thanks for any info.

The $-symbol is on my keyboard on AltGr - 4 and the -symbol is AltGR - 3, I
guess that if your $-symbol is shift - 4 then the -symbol may be shift - 3.

There is a big difference between GB-keyboards and Scandinavian keyboards.
All the {[]}.,;:+\'_*- symbols are located different, and it is a real pain
to do some DOS-work when nit set up for Scandinavian keyboards.

If this isn't OT then what is :)

Be nice if they had some stock!

They have been on back order for many weeks with their supplier and as
of a week ago they still didnt know when they would get stock.
