Utilizing the MacBooks ''sudden motion sensor", this program allows you to swing the laptop around, whilst it creates authentic lightsaber sounds.


Hold tight!

FYI - if you accidentaly "let go" or "drop" your "light sabre", I would be happy to repair, at a totally indecent price.

Finally I can re-enact the scene where Luke drops his lightsaber down that really long shaft.  ;D
Now in a tasty new flavour.

Would this be the weirdest thing you have heard as a PC Tech?

I wish... :cry:

The year is 1992, Indiana.....

I'm working at my first job, one of our accounts asks if we can take a look at his home computer if he pays us...we say sure.

He brings it by....apparently it has been sitting in his barn for a "couple years" (did I mention it was in Indiana).  For some reason it doesn't work now (could it be the 6" of dust/dirt/manure caked around the case?).

Before plugging it in, we open the case, and......................

2 Dead mice (not the kind with the buttons), real mice...1 was almost a skeleton, the other was a little fresher....

Suprisingly enough, after removing the bodies, cleaning the case (yuck), and reseating everything on the motherboard, it actaully fired up.

We told him that we had to unstall the internal mice, and everything worked fine...he just gave us a puzzled look, and took it back home.

fond memories.... :cheers:
