I just received word that Transfinite Systems, Inc., manufacturers
of the Gold Brick(tm), claim to have broken the PowerGlove(tm)
encryption and are selling  a product that will make the glove
talk to a Macintosh(tm).

I have not yet used their device, but I called them up and they
were quite clear on the point that they are getting full (x,y,z,roll)
resolution and finger bend (i.e. this is not just the joystick emulation
mode).

Price: either $245.00 or $169.00 (apparently they have two products)
