NEW topic. $7,000 overseas or $7,000 at home
« on: November 23, 2014, 09:27:18 PM »
A 2nd topic for consideration after some requests.

You have been gifted $7,000.

Are you

A. Going to go to Expo USA next year, or the year after

Or

B. Going to spend it on a pinball, or pinball machines

A or B ?

Note, got plenty of pins, so I would do the A - go to USA.

What would you do ?

(Thanks to the members on the other thread for coming up with the idea of Expo, I credit this thread to you).

Option C is that you don't have the imagination to pick A or B. ;)

Option D
ColorDMD for some games
New ramps for some games
A couple of repro back glasses
