On Order
« on: March 24, 2004, 12:40:03 pm »
Hey Bro,

First I want to say "Praise and kudos to you" for putting a book out like this.  I have always wanted to do this but didnt' know where to start.  Secondly, wanted you to know,  I have your book on order with Barnes & Noble and they are going to let me know as soon as it is in.  Way to go Bro!!!


Bitnerd.

P.S.  I am currently restoring an old pacman and have been having a blast.

Thanks! Hope you enjoy it! It's due out around April 27th, finished the very very very (I hope!) last bit of editing last night.

Cheers!

I'm glad you are excited about the book, but for the love of god don't mame a mspacman cab, it is the ultimate of classics and deserves better.

Dear Lord, PLEASE don't do that........  That's why this site is called "build your OWN arcade controls", not, "please take a classic and thrash it".....

Re-0think it, do a lot of homework, then build your own please.  If you need to, sell the Ms. Pac to someone who will appreciate it for what it is, and not want to kill it because it doesn't play 4000 games.

GJ Saint--It will(must) feel good seeing your book at stores with your name on them!

I will purchase your book to show support as long as you thanked the members of the community somewhere in it  :P

I'll purchase a copy for the same reason that one should donate to this site.  Saint keeps this site up and running and pays for the hosting and bandwidth (which I'm sure is considerable).

In my opinion, that should be reason enough.   :)

I'm sure it will be all over.  However, I do know that the book is NOW @ BN.  I called my local one last night, and they had several copies.
