The Arcade Even A Wife Can Love (Back From The Dead!)

When I had mine working, a friend came over and saw I had Track and field on it. He immediately grabbed a pen and decided to show me how you can push the buttons back and forth super fast by pivoting a pen on your finger between the two buttons. :angry:
But the painted buttons seemed to hold up just fine.

1 of the 5 surfaces for the CP box is laminated. It ain't gonna budge. Everything takes forever. It takes about 30 minutes per side by the time you wait the 15 minutes for the glue to get tacky and then another 15 minutes for it to bond and then route off the excess. I'll be doing this for 2 more hours!!

I am the same way. I get nuts when other people trash my stuff. I am not sure if teaching responsibility=mental though. :)

Excellent!
As far as the time commitment, just tell yourself how much time you are saving by not painting it to look like a Steinway grand piano ;D

Good point! It is a sort of instant gratification isn't it?
