FCE has just acquired some new HCI and Edutech equipment.

The first is a additional input device for our N64 which allows further
research into two-handed interfaces and alternative user interfaces.
Of course, this comes with a memory pack, allowing us to save our research.

We have a new Edutech title, Crusin' USA which teaches US geography
and a little about our national landmarks. Additionally as a side-effect,
a good knowledge of manual transmissions can be learned as well.

Finally, we have a new VR-Edutech title, Turok. The neat little title
teaches about how to survive in a prehistoric jungle while also
learning about ancient civilizations and dinosaurs. Hunting test scores
improved by 300% after just a week of using the program.

So, enjoy the learning, but share the love,
Jason
