The Joy Board was also used "the other way around". You sat on the
board and tried to sit as still as possible. Any movement was detected
by the Joy Board and lowered your Karma (or what ever it's called).
The "game" was called... Guru Meditation.

So, guys, when you get that dreaded message, stay cool and remember
your Mantra. ;-)

BTW, if I remember correctly; the machine that the Amiga company was
constructing was going to be called Lorraine. Now anybody now what THAT
means?
