How can anyone live without a spinner?

I just started building my freestanding revolving control panel of death this weekend, and I couldn't resist making a quick temp panel for a couple buttons, trackball, and SPINNER - seriously guys, why even bother building a CP without a spinner; tempest owns all.  It was worth the almost $100 for a SlikStik tornado for tempest alone...  on a side note - which spinner knobs do you guys use?  I got the one with O-rings on it, and I really like the feel.

I don't have or use a spinner. I don't think I have ever even seen one in real life! I'm just not a fan of the type of games that use it ;) . It's purely personal preference of whether or not you want a spinner.

pointdablame:
I have always included a spinner in my control plans.  I just can't live without playing tempest or arkanoid/breakout.  It's also nice since it doubles as a steering wheel and I have no place to put an actual wheel.  

Spinners may not add a ton of games in comparison to other controls, but I'll have to agree and say that I personally couldn't make a CP without one.

ChadTower:
I feel the same way about vector monitors.  How can anyone be a Tempest fan playing it on a raster?

SirPoonga:
I had the spinner off my control panel, I almost died    :o
