Fat_Trucker:
I come somewhere between the two.

The wife tends to nag incessantly, and I simply switch into 'wife mode' where my brain actually filters most of what she is saying into unintelligble background noise with little or no effort on my part.

I've got no significant other, but I do have a roomate - my brother. Technically I rent from him. So I pretty much have to have permission any time I want to bring something home. However, the garage is 100% full and I'd never get a machine up the stairs without his help.

Believe or not, my wife bugged me about a 4 way joystick for eternity.....(I had 8 ways mounted)......All she wanted to play was ms. pac  I installed a switchable 4/8 way from ultimarc and now everyone is happy!
AlanS17:
Aren't those t-sticks the coolest? I just got one. I love it. Maybe that's the deep secret to spousal harmony... t-sticks.

My wife and her sisters are the ones who actually got me BUILDING (instead of just planning) ... they wanted a "sitdown arcade machine like MsPacMan at the cottage" ... bought an old cocktail for conversion the very next day and my first MAME machine was born.

Cheers
