Thanks to Jeff Porter and George Robbins >for coming out to the meeting. What I found extremely interesting was the fact that Jeff Porter mentioned about the A500 sales. It seems Bally's and two other big video arcade manufacturers have contracted to purchase a bunch of the A500 boards to use in their next generation of video arcade games. Now that's showing confidence in the A500!! (hmmm, perhaps in a year's time we'll see some REAL arcade quality hits at home! After all we'll all be running on the same hardware...) -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Isn't fun the best thing to have?" lachac@topaz.rutgers.edu
