Has anyone else grown to hate the word "cab"
geomartin:
I'm sure that someone will be selling a MAME cabinet named CABCADE on Ebay very soon.
Katana Man:
I agree, "cab" and "cade" is just laziness.
geomartin:
I agree. I remember going to play the Asteroids machine or the Gorf machine. As kids I doubt we ever called them cabinets. That was something I picked up when MAME intruded into my life. ;D
paigeoliver:
I think I figured it out. I am a general arcade guy first, and a Mame guy second. Mainstream arcade collectors tend to have 3+ machines, so the word "cab" when used is always qualified with another word, such as "jamma cab", "Burgertime cab", "Crappy Mappy cab", "old Pole Position cab", "Williams cab" etc.
Around HERE people just use the word all by itself, because MOST of the people here only have one machine.
RayB:
Anyone here like Cab Calloway?
