slowest scalextric ever. I had a Big Trak and one of the re-issued ones from a few years ago. Fast they were not, but great for scaring the cat.

anyone who wasn't on /talk yesterday may not have seen my message, but i can't be online much for the time being. only had the computer on for 10 minutes and my eyes are already killing me. got to lay off intenetting until after my cataract surgery and i still don't know when that's likely to be.

I hope it goes well. Some of the stuff on here is scary enough just looking at it. It would be even worse if you had to do b3ta entirely by touch or one of those upcoming scratch 'n' sniff iPhones.

# It was amazing at the time,

After I put them straight about a few things it did keep them amused...

....for about 10 minutes anyway ;)
