Could the different boot times be based on cool or warm boots. I have no idea at all how WOZ operates, but having spent over 30 years in IT, I strongly support dedicated hardware to PC vased systems.

The fact that the boot issue has triggered such a barrage of exchanges across the Pacific tells me that the brains of WOZ may be the Achilles heel and maybe the reason for the release delay. People made numerous comments about the high quality of WOZ compared to other pinball which is good if you can get to play it - the wait is pissing people off big time!

I always had a bad gut feel about a pay-up-front model and this thread justifies that feel.
