At the booth in Oshkosh I received a demo of On Top and purchased both
On Top and IP Trainer. I was told nothing special was required to run
these packages. I got home and found they didn't work. The one
useful information I ever got out of ASA Tech Support was:

Op Top and IP Trainer (of the version then current) did not support
Direct/X. This means there was no way the code would run on Windows
NT or later operating systems. Nearly all of my computers ran some

Version 8 seems to run just fine on XP Pro. It was a bit picky about
calibrating in a specific order, but after that it worked just fine.

I'm not an idiot. I write high performance computer graphics
software for PC's for a living. Higher performance stuff than
what OnTop's demands are.

My biggest problem in cases like these is (or was before I retired) my
field is CS, my degree is in CS and I think like a programmer and they
are trying to talke to the average user which can leave us both
confused.
