errr... it does have a joystick, and I've seen a pointer working with it!

Interesting stuff. Just thought I'd point out - you say "piqued SPOnG's interest," not "peaked" :)

Probably because the person who wrote 'piqued' understands the English language better than you do; thats how it is spelt.

Yes, we did say that - and I've now changed it.
Pique - "to excite (interest, curiosity, etc.)"
Peak - loads of definitions, from peaked cap to looking ill to being at the point of maximum frequency.
Although 'peaked my interest' has become common usage, it's lazy and sloppy and I have shot the sub-editor responsible in the head with bullets made from his own teeth.
They know the penalty for failure.
Apologies and thanks.
Cheers
