I go some stuff! Let's see it!
First off is this crazy joystick. I didn't know that there was such a complex joystick made for the Mac, using the ADB port. The only joysticks I had seen on eBay or thrifting had been little 4-button sticks. This thing rocks! Best part about it, my OrangePC card can see it and read most of its functions. I think 2-3 buttons aren't seen, but I'd likely have a hard time finding a use. Makes Mechwarrior 3 great, and Descent II is still hard :[ . Of course, the first thing I do is crack it open and re-grease every rail, joint and pivot internally. This thing is smooth as butter now, without the smell.

Next is a tiny 9-inch greyscale VGA monitor. I've wanted both a tiny monitor and a monochrome of some kind, after my monochrome green got annihilated in shipping, I got this instead. It's not as bright as I'd like, but it's good because it's VGA and survived the trip.
