There used to be a nickle arcade in Portland, Electric Wonderland or something like that, up on Halsey Street. I used take a $5 bill, cash it into nickles, and spend an entire afternoon in the place. This was like 1983-1984. By the time I spent all my nickles, my eyeballs were about popping out of my head....man, those were the days.... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Aillaud Niels" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, October 11, 2001 4:42 AM Subject: RE: Newbie server admin Yeah, when you could actually finish a game with a single token 'cos you were that good. -----Message d'origine----- De : [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Envoyé : jeudi 11 octobre 2001 05:18 À : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Objet : Re: Newbie server admin You and me both, pops...I just happen to have one of those original pong games...somewhere....packed in a box somewhere.
