Saturday, April 6, I went to the local Toys 'R' Us.  The Power Gloves had 
been removed from their normal location behind bulletproof glass and 
dumped in by the carrying cases.  There were about a dozen.  They had 
indeed been discounted to $50.  Fearing that this did indicate their 
discontinuance, I bought two.  Along with the one that I have, this gives 
me enough ultrasonic recievers to wire a room and enough gloves to last 
for a while.  If anybody is still interested in the technology, it might 
be a good idea to snap up one or two while there is still time.  I wish I 
had bought the Sega flip glasses when I could, too.

In a way, I'm glad they're being discontinued.  I was facing a 
psychological block getting mine to work, because I had invested a great 
deal of effort and some money in a Motorola microprocessor which is 
absolutely perfect for the job but is soon to be discontinued.  I didn't 
want to continue and lock myself into this processor, and I didn't have 
the gumption to switch processors.  Now, it really doesn't matter.  So,
expect more installments about the Power Glove from me RSN.
