Hi Ian, yes i can confirm that in time the lcd pieces will become second nature to you i have had the SS sinse it was released and after a few short games i got used to them this is not to say that i think the lcd pieces are great to look at,hardly,just that after awhile one becomes accustomed to them my biggest gripe with the SS has always been the anemic battery life(8-10 hrs) and that dang phillips screw in the battery compartment cover. why Novag did not make a "snap-on" battery cover,especially with such a short battery life is beyond me the newly released Star Ruby has the same lcd pieces and a MUCH longer battery life(50-60hrs) of course for the lower price(about $100 lower) you get a weaker program and less features Best Steve
