Basically its something like a Waccom, but with a clicker rather than a stylus. You click the corners and it measures the distances and/or creates a map of the plans.
and yes the controller looks like but in this intelevision controllers u had to use de disk to move (instead of joystick) and u could change the cards depending of each game, and then click on where the omage of the "automash" is and u were controlling different subjects or performing diff functions...
LETRASET ..... fell in love with Helvetica 24 pt at first rub! still have a stack of it in a file folder somewhere in my office for my kids school projects.

u always need a couple of videogames consoles to relax and try not to stress at the office....
and of course...autocad!
where i worked in germany the office had a mechanical clocking on-off machine next to the door that we had to use.
my paypacket was pretty oldschool as well.
'cept our's was black, a la Top Gun
is it me or does the "astrosmash" controller look like an i-pod?
this is as far back as I got to go:
I had to use a digitizer when I was doing take offs at the lumber yard.
Wow, I dont even know what a digitizer is....is it like a hand held scanner?
