I just took an inventory and updated the store.  Just a few on hand at the moment, but I'll have more available in a few days when the parts arrive.

Thanks Randy  :applaud:

Since you are unresponsive to email i will ask the question here. ( a thight spam filter i guess)

I want to order a TT2 but i allready got a trackball from you with USB on ID 1.
Now what do i have to use on th e TT2 ID1 too or no board and connect it to the Y of the trackball?

Please enlighten me here. I am confused on this one.

You can plug in both controllers simultaneously - no different id is required. I just tested it! I believe you can hook the spinner up to the Z axis on the trackball encoder, however the Z axis has some issues with resolution, according to some...

On a related note - Randy, any ETA on getting Electric ICE-T Trackballs back in stock?

Thanks.

The spam has been choking me out lately.  To top it off, some evil ---tallywhacker--- has been using the customer service and tech support email addresses in the return address for their spam, which floods me with all of the backwash when they get refused.  This has the effect of legitimate mail from my addresses being incorrectly blocked by poorly configured spam blockers, as well as some mail being lost in the deluge of backwash at cleanup time.  It may be time for some overly restrictive contact scheme to deal with it, I'm afraid.

But yeah, what Havok said ;)  ID's are really only important if you have more than one of the exact same devices on the same computer at the same time.  The only current exception to this rule are the LED-Wiz+GP's when used with the LED-Wiz's.  These share ID's for the sake of software compatibility and must always have unique ID's for each of either device that is connected.

On a related note - Randy, any ETA on getting Electric ICE-T Trackballs back in stock?

They should be here no later than Tuesday.  I try not to let this happen too often, but I just had a big order clean out my stock unexpectedly.

Randy, may using an online service like gmail would help. I rarely get spam. Also, folks, at least it's due to orders that he's out of stock vs slackin off or whatever.

I second the gmail thing. You can send and receive emails to and from multiple domains with ease. The spam filter rocks, the search feature rocks, the archive feature rocks, etc, etc.

I triple the Gmail suggestion. Gmail has forwarding, POP and IMAP support. I've been leveraging Gmail for my mother's cell phone for months with nary a problem.

I veto the Gmail suggestion. Fine for personal use, lame for professional. You have no recourse if they screw things up, and then your business is affected...
