I had the same thoughts.. I would most likely use a bug type of joystick too as this is more common (people who didn't see the early computer joysticks would have seen a joystick very much the same in the arcades).

Pretty common fault to be honest.. The white piece is used to apply presure to the contacts of a plug in device. Sometime they break and you end up with the port being about as much use as a cabbage.. One thing I have noticed is that Mice tend to only use a few inputs so it may still work in tat por...

Well I'll have to be different.. And say looking forward to the next Nintendo offering.. After playing some of the games on all three platforms I'd have to say that the GC is by far the best (if you can afford it that is).. The next Xbox will be a BARSTARD to hack so don't expect anything to happen ...

To be honest this sort of thing has been around for sometime now with PlusNet and Tiscali offering services for much the same price. Its interesting to note the 1Gb Monthly limit though..
