I have a cousin who suffers from Cerebral Palsy. He uses a laptop PC (just arrived for Xmas) in school to take notes and write reports. So far ... so good. But, being a kid, he would like to play games. His disability, however, makes using the keyboard in a fast moving game difficult. A joystick would be better. Alas, the laptop, as with most laptops, has no game port. Is there a way to connect a joystick to such a laptop??? Perhaps something via the printer or serial port with appropriate software to intercept the calls from the game? If you know of any such thing ... please mail me. Pete Lutz R.I.T. phl@cs.rit.edu
