Two-Fisted Computing

Posted by michael on from the kudos-to-submitter-for-spelling-complement-correctly dept.

whiterat writes "3Dconnexion is selling a variety of input devices that provide a left-hand complement to the traditional computer mouse. The devices control the position of on-screen objects in design programs such as Adobe Systems' Photoshop and its 3D modeling application, Maya. That enables designers to work without constantly togging between 'view' and 'create' modes." Smash TV veterans need no extra training.

  1. Robotron story by steveha · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Of course Robotron: 2084 predated Smash TV.

    Here's a story I heard about Robotron. I don't know if it's true.

    I heard that Disney decided to sue Williams over the name "Robotron", since Disney owns the name "Tron" (from the movie). Williams lawyers, in court, argued that the name isn't actually "Robo-tron", but actually "Robot Ron".

    If it isn't true, it ought to be. ;-)
