Having just posted about probably buying the Speed 7 FF wheel when it
eventually appears, it is not a confidence booster to see that
www.interactiveracing.com (Ball Racing Developments) has been displaying a
"Server Error" message on its home page for the past 3 days...

Its because Immersion has a patent *** hold on any Force Feedback
devices connected to a PC.  This vague patent gives Immersion the choice of
if and when it puts out a better FF technology.  Obvioulsly that day is
wayyy past.  Poor technology along with this retarded patent effectively
ruined Force Feedback on a PC for many years so far and many to come.

Dont we have a Patent lawyer here somewhere that wants a case?
