hi taylor,

...I'll try these out, but I had a thought that, since I'm just using 
"window-ed" mode and not fullscreen, it may be that the lasers are 
going to where the mouse pointer is, which isn't the same as where 
the HUD displays...seems easy enough to test, anyway, and that's what 
next year's for!...

tanx,
