Your article "Video Games Get Trashed" [TECHNOLOGY, March 15] creates the false impression that Connectix Virtual Games Station exacerbates piracy problems in the video-game-console market. CVGS contains technology that is designed to discriminate between legitimate PlayStation CDs and illegal copies. Your article also overlooked the compelling legitimate consumer benefit of our product: CVGS enables you to play many popular PlayStation games on a Macintosh computer.

It is addictive, and the faster and lower the better. Sensations are heightened in valleys, with mountainsides just off the wing tips. It is a visual flying process and certainly no place for inept pilots. This is no place for ad hoc or reckless flying. There can be no excuses: there is no escape from this ultimate responsibility. There is no air-traffic controller...
