i will say the title on this topic is my attempt at a bit of humour.

today i was talking about how the world was before we had the internet.

I must admit does add alot more fun & to the pinball hobbie, its great to chat with other people who have the same hobbie, and the ease of access to replacement parts.

i remember back in the late eighties and early nineties how much of a pain it was to get spare parts, the process was get the yellow pages and ring the suppliers in your area, then if they had the part you would have to drive to the place and pick it up, or "we can order it in for you".

now a days you just jump on the net and check the aussie distributors and if they dont have it then check out if companies on the other side of the world have got it.

man, have things changed in the last 20 years
