From 2/03 in rbr by Danny C.:

Kevin,

I have an older Computrainer which was robust and served me well for
years.
However, I just got an I-Magic and I love it. You have the ability to
train
via virtual reality and use steering which is nearly like playing a
video
game or you can use the "Catalyst" softweare and emulate an
ergotrainer
with
programmable slope, watts, distance, time, etc. Also, there is third
party
software available through http://www.fitcentric.com which is also
very
good.

In the end, it may depend on your specific needs but I have found
myself
"playing" on the I-Magic for one to two hours which I was never able
to
do
on the Computrainer. At half the cost of a Computrainer, I would say
it's
well worth serious consideration..!

You scare my Brian! But it is true, I still like the I-Magic.

I did a quick Google search and it came up right away. I'm thinking of
the
Flow model if the other half can be convinced. I guess with the i-Magic
you
could program in Greylock from the North side for fun?



Been a while since I did the North side I miss it! You could program that
into the Tacx but it would probably be easier on the Computrainer. However,
there is a really cool feature that uses a DVD Video of famous climbs and
operates the brake of the trainer to coincide with the grade. Phil Stone
(frequent resident on the Wattage forum) created it and now Tacx is pushing
it.

Yes, I meant to say that (figuring either you or Robert Chung would know
where the new link was) but I hit the damn send button too early.
