New Joystick Fun -- 10:06 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

My wife had to make a trek to The Big City to pick up some birthday presents for her parents. While she was out, I had her pick up a Logitech WingMan Attack 2 joystick for me. It's pretty sweet for only $19. It is USB so I don't have to jump through any gameport hoops anymore. Even better, I got it working flawlessly in Linux with a mere /sbin/insmod joydev and calibration via jscal. I tested it with Parsec and Tux Racer. Quite cool. In Windows I'm using it with XWing Alliance. My only gripe is that I now have three USB devices (mouse, Visor, joystick) but only two ports. Looks like I'm either going to have to get something like this so I can use the other two ports my mobo supports or I'm going to have to get a USB hub.
