You think that could put some kind of reaction feature into it? Make computer gaming WAY more challenging. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

Rather expensive way to do what I had rigged up for a friend over 15 years ago using a simple pneumatic switch and an off-the-shelf computer.

Reminds me of the guy who was working on a device to see through walls when his wife asked him if he had ever heard of a "window".

I dunno about this. If my thoughts were sent out via email, I'd be fired/jailed/committed in no time!
