VF2 arcade board that I've ordered.

For game shops to be run by honest gamers, rather than clueless business
analysts or dodgy ripoff artists. One of the local chains in my town is
run by a pool shark and his circle of freeloading friends. At one point
their shop was ace best, overflowing with imports and piles of the latest
releases. On my last visit, I saw only piles of broken hardware stacked up
next to the used DVD movies that are slowly edging out the games. Also,
being a pool shark at 15 could be impressive, but to have no other talent
at 21 is not. I was there trying to source an arcade cabinet for the VF2
board, since it's not Jamma compatible. Dammit.

This is the giant blue European kiosk with the stylish flat front and the
LCD screen, right? I have the first-run American demo stand, and it looks
like a squat, textured garbage can. The eight-inch CRT and very loud
cooling fan probably did nothing to win over potential Dreamcast buyers.

I'll post a link to a picture of mine if you post a link to a picture of
yours. That probably sounds more suggestive when spoken out loud. :)

Western Union - Every method of moving money from one part of the world to
another is fraught with delays and paperwork. I'm starting to think that
critics of the so-called 'World Economy' have more on the ball that I
previously realized.

-KKC, who wonders when 'source' became a verb as well as a noun...
