While it was certainly impressive, all that high speed dragging gave me a headache. it also made me wonder how incredibly wealthy some people are.

 - nifty. Presumably it's keyed up to work on only one pen/pointer at a time, so's folks don't end up just getting seasick from too-many-cooks syndrome. Liked the dungeon-mapping capability bit most, I think - being able to move the world-maps around is nice, but seems like it'd be a bit of a pain to have to move a whole host of troops around to suit the map, every time you shifted it  :icon_scratch:

I don't think you'd need to be massivey wealthy to create something like this - although you would need some tech skills.

I could probably do one for myself for armound £1000 if I really wanted to (which I don't), which is only a tenth of what one of those high-end custom gaming tables was on the FoD a couple of months ago.  OK, that is a lot of money for some people, but only a fraction of what some people spend on their hobbies.  Have you seen the cost of premiership soccer season tickets and replica kit, for example!!
