Another wrench has been thrown into the control issue.  A "new" Slider control
was tested, and many feel it is clearly the superior control.  By the same 
token, many feel that it is seriously worse, not better.  We are planning 
on Focus testing the two controllers with the hope of getting some unbiased 
feedback on this issue.

The ADSP II board has been delivered, stuffed, and is being tested.

Graphics developement continues.  We have a new Map screen, and are trying to
speed up the decompression routine in order to make it fit seamlessly.

Software development continues.  Unfortunately so much time has been spent 
on things like the cabinet and the controller issues that we are falling 
behind on the tunnel design.
