I remember when I was playing F1GP on the old Miggy, you used to get
around 5fps MAX! When we`re getting to that realm, I`ll admit, it's
hard to control, but with the computer now polling 15 times a second
(on average) to see what you`re doing, I can`t honestly say there has
been any situation where a higher frame rate would have saved me. When
i've crashed, it`s been my fault.

Blaming the FPS brings to mind the old saying "A bad workman always
blames his tools."
