May I?

  1. Happy belated birthday, Mickey. I found two joysticks from the Mac gamers sites. They look very star wars-y to me compared to the simple one you posted and I would have no idea how to use them.

    There’re also these things called trackball pads.

    Some of these may require extra software to run.

  2. Thanks, Harry. Those gizmos are rather sci-fi...but if they work why not? I’m gonna call 3M again later. It’s odd that the joystick I own worked with my old Mac. The only issue it had was any time I had to restart, I had to first unplug the joystick (it plugged directly into the tower) and then plug it back it once the computer has rebooted.

    I tried something last night. I clicked on a box that allowed for assistive devices. Since then, the joystick is working a little better. Erratic tracking, yes. But the real issue is when it randomly decides to create pulldown menus anywhere I click. That’s stopped...for now.

    More soon…
