I wish Michael Pritchard well in his endeavors, this invention has the potential to save many lives indeed.

Off to the Park Ridge Tavern for my weekly dose of pub poker, think of all the donkeys you have ever played against and double it and you'll figure out the crowd it draws Seriously we have about 60 regulars that play every Monday night and are a lot of fun, come down for a game.

2 weeks off and now back to the grindstone, no rest for the wicked.

Another source update this time, so soon after New Year, go grab it now. If you can't compile to save your life go over the Build Your Own Arcade Controls forum and to this post by Headkaze and grab MAME Compiler V0.5, makes compiling a breeze.

Roman does a great job with this little utility, makes life so much easier. I remember the old days where I used to hand edit every .zip file before uploading to the newsgroups, I hated release days sometimes
