I completely agree. But is it really necessary to keep using the word "spastic"? Insulting people with disabilities isn't cool.

Sorry to hear you've had this unfortunate experience. The key to inserting new IC's into sockets is to use a table or something similar to bend the legs inward slightly on both sides.

The only thing I find disappointing about the joystick is how poorly it was utilised.

Having to hold the stick UP to accelerate or jump? What were they smoking?

I'm not saying this isn't a good product, but I beg to differ on this point.

Displaying a 15khz screen on a monitor without scanlines will always result in a jaggy image.

Whether you use the RGB port or not is irrelevant. Setting an NTSC Amiga to PAL does NOT cause the machine to output a PAL signal. It's a 60 hz NTSC signal.
