Well I guess I should of said "released in English". I don't know if I'll
get bored with Spa & the Lister before then, but it could happen. If I do, I
guess I'll have to deal with eBay and the English translation hack. Anyway,
I can put up with the demo for now. I don't think I'll have much success
turning off the aids though, not until I can get a descent wheel. I looked
at a Logitech Driving Force Pro at Fry's today, 140USD... ouch that a little
steep, I saw it online for 110USD. Unfortunately there wasn't a display
model to look at. I'm going by BestBuy later this evening to see if they
have one out of the box. The pic on the box showed what looked like there
old style (read POS) desk clamp mechanism. I thought they'd gotten away from
that. My past experience with it wasn't very good. It tended to "roll" off
desks with radius edges. I hope this one is better b/c I'm using the same
desk :^)
