CharveL, what people complain here is that TIR is overpriced, so for who can't or don't want afford it there is freetrack, cheap because today almost everybody have a webcam. I want be clear that i don't say one is better than another, just that one is "cheaper" than another.
Interesting. Coupled with the cheap price it does sound like a decent alternative for those who don't want to pony up for the more expensive unit.

I totally agree that, barring any of the legal stuff, FT is a good alternative.

I'll reserve any judgements on performance comparisons until I can see for myself but I only bring up the technical aspects out of an interest in finding out or explaining what I do know about TIR, not to tell people what they should or should not use.
