The 'Unfortunate Fellow'
« on: June 28, 2005, 06:40:56 pm »
An exert from the book....

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Introduction XXiii

Caution: Don't fall into the trap that one unfortunate fellow did. He spent months building an absolutely gorgeous custom arcade cabinet, only to discover it was too wide to fit through the doorway of his basement once completed. I'm not certain how that was resolved, but there's definitely a lesson learned there!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, is the unlucky fellow a forum member and what did he end up doing?

I'm not sure if he's a forum member or not :) I believe it was on AGM I read about it.
