I bought a prehacked glove and am now SOL because my computer is too fast,
I am using the parellal port, and cant get the darn thing to do anything
except BEEP!
  Is there a way around this?
please let us know if it can be done another way.

HI My name is Nicholas Macsi, I am absolutly facinated by all this VR
stuff and would love to get 'into' it so to speak and was wondering if
any of you kind ppl out there would be willing to share your knowlege
and advice with me.

I would like to start dabbling with imersive type VR and I am not a
millionaire (I can't even spell it) but I presume that the stuff I
would need for basic setup would be a headset(HMD or other??) and a
cursor device (glove or pointer???) and of course a
program/drivers/environment and computer with which to run it on (I
have a computer P133 PC but I dont know if this is acceptable).  

I have read the FAQs but this doesnt help me as I dont even know what
half the stuff from the suppliers does or even looks like.  I have
read some stuff on VR but it is mostly theory and not hardware so if
someone could give me a starters kit price and device or something
like that I would be ever so grateful (oh and how or where I go/talk
to in Australia for it all, if possible) 

Please advise (preferably through email  <macsi@spirit.com.au> thanks)
sincerely Nicholas Macsi
