I know you weren't asking me, but I'll chime in :).

I think a good price point would be $1000 and that is still a lot. At
least at that price people could balance it against other computer/sim
purchases.

For example, I am looking at spending about $1000 on a 3 monitor
TripleHead2Go setup.  Now if your seat was $1000 I definitely would have
to stop and think if the screens or your seat would add more realism to
my sim driving.  However, even if your device is the greatest (and with
what I've read it sounds like you are really on to something), there is
no choice for me between the $1000 monitor set and $3000.  Heck, I don't
even know if I can swing the $1000.

Ok, my 2 cents (can I deduct them if a make  a purchase some time in the
far future) :).

P.S.  I just looked on your page and saw your setup of the seat and 3
monitors.  Man, some people have it all :)

Just a stupid idea from a non-techie: Wouldn't it be possible to to
create a simpler version of the G1 that can be extended with additional
pads or motors later?

Cheers, uwe
