The Therimin idea was partly a joke. For those who don't know, it's the device used to produce those warbly spaceship like sounds in the Beach Boy's "Good Vibrations". It played the part that went: "ooo-WEEE-ooooo-ooooo-ooooo-ooo" I guess it could be adapted to provide arcade input, since it works off of motion detection to provide the sounds. If someone builds this and markets it, I want 10%! :) Good luck Sun! Let us know when you find the perfect controller. Did anyone ever try that device you supposedly controlled with your mind? I demoed it at a local store, and my poor skier kept going the wrong way. (Maybe I should get a brain scan?) Cheers, Timbur
