I'm holding my cuecat in hand with a PS/2 adapter thru a PS/2->USB adapter. Still works perfectly using Larry Wall's one-line decoder!!!

Amazing ahead of it's time product, by a very very screwed up founder.

One founder was a little off to say the least.

No. Screwed up by legal. Founders were super cool. Mostly.

Same thing they always do. Write letters. Crappy ones.
