I saw that Interact now has a handheld mini-wheel with force feedback!  It
has the wheel on the side like an RC controller.  It looks pretty cool, and
it was only $29.99 at Babbage's.  It certainly is a great alternative to
gamers who can't afford a $180 FF wheel.

I saw one at CompUSA, almost grabbed it just for the heck of it.  Sorta
waiting to see some other brave soul give it a shot and post a review.  I
doubt it'll be replacing the TM Pro but might be neat for some stuff.

Actually, Gravis makes a small gamepad for notebooks, called the "Stinger".

One limitation would seem to be that it requires DirectInput, so that
rules out using it for older games like GP2, CART etc, doesn't it?

Off topic, but what is a "moistened bint"?

A wet ***
He's referring to the "Lady in the lake" who gave the sword to  King Arthur.
