Well I had a Tac2 joystick (I emphasize the HAD!) for less than a week and it
started not wanting to move anywhere.  Finally last night the handle snapped
off in my hand.  I don't know if this was a fluke or not, but I'm getting tired
of shelling out money for a joystick.  The companies should make their products
better instead of plastic which can break in the heat of the moment.  I know
that it will cost more, but if a joystick could last ten years, the investment
may be well worth it.

BTW, a friend of mine also has an Epyx 500xj for 7 years now and when I used it
, it was the smoothest and easiest thing I have ever used.  Anyone know where
one can be picked up at?
