Mind Control.  I once saw a device that pluged into your COM port and
acted as a way to move a skier around a course.  As far as I could tell,
if I put in a wet piece of paper, I would do just as well as if my finger
was in the controler.  The controler worked like this as far as I could
tell.  It was attached to your finger and measured the amount of
electrical conduct.  You could design something like that I guess.  Not
very good though.
