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 :)
