Oh NO!!! Not that old chestnut "Toyotas are the most reliable car on the planet" - please, spare me!

Mike, It was only an example.lol  you can change the word toyota to ford, holden, subaru, mazda, take ya pick.lol  
If thats the only thing u picked up on after all that reading I am a happy man.

Also for pinballmag, Freihher makes a very good point. It wouldnt have mattered who made pinballs this last 13 years, it wouldnt have mattered if you gave a free model wife who puts out 3 times a day with every pinball machine sold to a operator, kids were playing xbox and playstation and talking on facebook. It would not have mattered what pinball u produced, worldwide pinball machines onsite arent taking in the coin. The home market is the future of Stern. I hope its enough for Stern to stay open another 13 years.
To my knowledge operators only account for less than 30 percent of Stern sales maximum.
