That is awesome!
To Flack: Were you originally planning on posting this, or did you figure someone would pick up on it?

Getting on CNN... Nice. There wasn't even illicit activities alleged. Very nice. The only way I'll be on CNN is probably not good...

I actually didn't know about it until I just saw this thread. How cool is that?
This past weekend my wife saw a thing on CNN.com asking people to upload pictures of their game rooms so I did and plugged my book in the captions. I had no idea they were going to use the pictures or the captions in a story. That's awesome!

I saw it yesterday and meant to post about it and forgot. Always interesting to know someone that was in a story on the front page of a major website.
Flack, bring a copy of Commodork with you to OVGE and I'll buy it off of you. :)

The result reignited one of O'Hara's life-long passions, and the arcade now houses between 20 and 30 games.
That's more games then the Alladin's Castle had at my local mall in the early 80's! I just hope you have a Tempest in there.

Heh, that would be nice. And I'm glad to responded to this thread because I almost forgot you off the thanks list. :)
