People must be too embarassed to post... It doesn't really have the flair of the original, does it? The least the "clear" function could have done is shake the screen a little bit.

Totally unrealistic. What is an Etch A Sketch drawing without a bunch of extra lines because you turned the dial the wrong way at first and then corrected yourself? Thanks for that other link, Fofer. That is disturbing.

"Totally unrealistic." I second that. Making diagonal lines was never this damn easy...it took dexterity well beyond my 9 year old fingers.

Unrealistic in another respect: on the real one if you're prepared work unreasonably hard at it, you can scratch away a big window and actually watch the mechanism work inside. Here it just turns black, and it's rather hard to get the lines close enough together to clear a window. Somewhere I have a video I shot of somebody twiddling the dials and making the pointer move around on a completely clear screen; really must convert that to quicktime and put it up on the web at some point. And Down10, speak for yourself -- y2karl's posting added new and non-irrelevant information; though it may not interest you I find it hard to understand how it injured you.
