Hahahaha.. I took him as a grumpy stick in the mud. I tend not to take
offense to people who say things are impossible. I hear that a lot, and
it only convinces me to try that much harder to prove them wrong.

Now see here Frank. We all know you have that steadily progressing

nostalgic about the good old days and complain about all the
newfangled contraptions in the world? Young Jago doesn't know you and
may take your ramblings more personal than those of us who know
better. Please remember to be civil to the new guys like we've asked
you too do over and over. Would it help if we wrote it on your bib
our something?

Yes, indeed it is fair. In fact, you should be the first to build
such
a control system and bring it to the battlefield. Equipped with your
advanced arm-mounted control and sensor feedback system you'll
probably
beat many rookies and veterans alike who rely solely on their clumsy
thumbs to move accurate joysticks, using nothing but their own eyes
as a
feedback system. How could mere humans even come close to defeating
the
far more advanced bionic system you envision?
