Don't worry, your vision is fine. One of the wheels is for a friend at university.
 
Here's my latest acquisition to the flynn family. I got it from a member here at MR in the Marketplace.

I needed a portable computer to supplement my desktop, for when I travel (which is infrequent). This is why I opted for a netbook, I needed the ability to connect to my companies network and access programs/computers/servers (something an iPad cannot do) and also hold my photos when I do travel.

The used mini fit that bill, its a hackintosh, so I still get to use OSX, its cheap, small and functional.

Nice, can't be the size and weight for travel.

Did you sell your 15" MBP, I recall you can the AG screen, then glossy but didn't like it so much.

How are these? I'm looking for a wheel for F1 2010 and GT5 (when they both come out).
I was about to purchase the G25 but these may do as well.
Does it have paddles?
 
@iqwertyi: Have a look at Fanatec's Porsche wheels. They are available in different price ranges and their 911 Turbo model currently is the best model on the market!

Hey. I got the wheel for the same games. I'm loving mine at the moment. It's the first proper steering wheel I have had and I can't fault it at all. I paid £80 for each of them and for me personally, its well worth the money.

It does have paddles on the reverse of the wheel. I've read many reviews about them being too small to use comfortably, but I've put a good 2 hours or so use on it so far and I have no problems what so ever. Its improved my lap times already and has made me (from what I can tell) a smoother driver.

I did look at the fanatec wheels, but ultimately decided to get the GT5 one as it was in a price range I could comfortably (due to student loans) afford.
