Martin-

The coolie hat does not jump when scrolling in the VC, it moves smoothl=

I think I missed something in that case.

Are you saying that the software for the specs generates a huge
wrap-round virtual screen and also takes over handling of the coolie
hat and other scrolling controls? Do the specs run off a normal
graphics card or do they have their own?

I had not paid much attention to the video-game aspect of PC's, but this =
is a huge market. Maybe flight simulators will be able to tag along on s=
ome of the technology being developed. =20

Sounds like it could be good for simmers. Its about time there was
some movement in display technology.
