More eq6 questions.

Howdy.
I was wondering how the guys with EQ6's move your mounts. I realize that you obviously use the hand box for go to, but when your in front of your computer, how do you nudge the mount to center your image on the screen. I'm used to Meade software which has a couple of ways to do this, built into the Autostar suite and Envisage software, and it is very convenient(and I must say the Meade bashers don't realize how good this software really is). I'm also remote from the scope, in a nice warm little room, with a heater and carpet!! Is there such a thing as an onscreen hand box for the EQ6? What, if any, software comes with the mount or is available for it? Could some of the EQ6 users give me a run down on setups, software, options etc before I pay for my EQ6 fully, as I'm thinking if it is unsupported in many ways, I'll have to change my choices. If there already is posts on this could you please point me to them. Also, seeing as the EQ series mounts are so popular, should we have a separate section dedicated to this topic?
