I got the X-Specs package, intending to write a 3-D particle code viewer
using them.  I was rudely surprised to read in the manual (inside the
box, naturally) that a developer's library was available for extra $.
In other words, without paying the extra $ you can basically look at the
sample pictures and play Space Spuds, but not much else.  I expected
that for the cost of the package it would at least include some sample
code or a library to make the thing useful.  A nice piece of hardware,
and the sample stuff really whets your appetite, but pretty
disappointing if you want to develop your own code.  I really wish
companies would point out things like this on the outside of the
package.
