slaps head How could I have forgot that ... :))) 

And a very good machine it is too :) 

We have been trying to persuade them to put it in the programmer's room

  Reading Room has a PS2 in Dean Street and a pool table and space
  invaders machine in Wardour St.
 
 Dircon took away their pool table recently to replace it with
 office space. G. I think all companies should have at least
 something... it helps with team building, ummm, team moral and
 I guess wasting time?
 
 The MAME machine sounds very cool,  does it have authentic joysticks?
 (BTW, if any one knows where I could pickup some old AsciiWare Nintendo
 joysticks please drop me a email)

The joysticks certainly seem authentic enough :)

I'll ask if anyone knows where to get the Nintendo ones

Cheers 

Graham

Surely to be in context .. 
"A majority of Websites that incorporate user interaction and
personalization rely on PHP to demonstrate the crappiness of sharing
code and html and so the clever people are using Perl"

oh well, I can dream..
