*kidding*

Tell the wife excellent work, hell of a cute kid. Still remember when we had ours. I needed more drugs than my wife!

Love the pink oversized sideart! Pink artwork always look best on a BG ;D

BTW It's amazing how many people here have a baby and/or a cat.

As for alot of people having a baby, it's that time of life for most of the "retro-arcade" people. I would think most of us are in the 25-35 range, which is typically when people settle down, have families, and build arcade cabs! :)

Someone who is 17 probably never played Pac-Man on a cab. Geez, what to do with no buttons!?!?!? Would've never thought I'd be playing my PS2 with 8 buttons (not including select or start), and button pad and 2 joysticks. :)

Also, I love the name :D .
My daughter's name is Sydney as well.
Try to spend as much time with her as possible because they grow up fast. My kids are 6 and 7 now and it seems like yesterday they were newborns.
Oh and help mom as much as you can, she'll thank you for years to come.

Not to argue, but I'm 14 and the classics is why I built my cabinet. I collected Atari stuff before I started doing arcade stuff. But I guess I'm a little strange compared to most my age :P

Post by: jcoleman on April 26, 2004, 01:02:59 pm: This will be very similar to most BYOAC projects in that you got very excited to build it at first, it annoyed your wife (and likely caused her discomfort) for about 9 months, and now that it's built you will still tweak the software for years on end. Good luck!

Seriously, though, congratulations!
