Well listen buddy (I am taking this as a personal attack - more fun that
way)...

1) I found one pinball machine that had no tilt - if the ball went out of play
we would lift the entire machine up until the ball rolled back down the table.
It was a lot of fun (though heavy on the arms).
2) I have won fair and square. (rogue 7.2) (pinball Harlem Globetrotters among
others).
3) I've never heard of your book 'winning' (8->)
Would you deny me a dream?
