Now that the list is active again: I phoned Mattel the other day. They say that they will be selling/ distributing the gloves (large only) for this christmas. So, if you don't have one and can't find one, you should be able to find one within the next few months. It sounded like they'd be pretty hard to find after December or January, though... Update on the AGE box thing: Now I'm wondering if it's obsolete. It's not quite, because, among other things, the box can get data on demand, instead of in a stream. I'm not sure how sensitive the timing for the ST code will be when people port it to other platforms. Anyway, I'm still battling the legal thing, to get an agreement w/ AGE and my employer. I'll take a final call for people interested when the time comes, should be (as usual) pretty soon. Thanks fo your patience. Oh, while I'm rambling: standards for the glove drivers are a good idea. Once drivers get written for various platforms, real development can begin. -- Greg
