Of course, the problem is I work for an arcade outfit, so...

I'm sticking it out for now.  Not terrible lately...in fact, Mumbles has gone from three days at the shop to two.  And Cool Guy spends most of his time there now.

If you come here, do it for the weather and the women as a priority.  They're not *THAT* arcade mad here. :)

I agree with Havok....since I'm also in IT, I have no problem talking with my co-workers about my arcade hobby/obsession.   In fact,  a couple of my co-workers have build arcade machines since I introduced them to the hobby.   I'll have to say though that I *do* get strange looks from some of the 'younger' people though.   ;D 

*However*, most of my other friends/family always look at me like I'm the "crazy tech guy" when I tell them about my projects.   The strange thing is, when they actually *see* the finished product, they love it! 

Hey, I guess everyone needs a hobby of some sort.  I give my wife strange looks all the time because of her 'scrapbooking' hobby....
