OK, this dude is posting a MAME cab in our area and I wrote him the following:

> If you sell this thing for that much please email me. Mine's a similar machine with trackball/spinner, etc and in just as good shape; I would not value it higher than maybe $500 – so if you get that money let me know, I'll make my kids' Christmas a good one!


Not meaning to be insulting. If he pulls $2500 for some multi I want to know! I was half-serious. And, I never gave him a link to my machine on Photobucket or any particulars. But then I got this:

Where did you get yours from the dollar general??? Look mine up it sells new for 4,000 dollars!! You must be talking about a battery operated machine hahah!! Why did you even look at it if u have one ???

____

(I looked because my RSS feed posted this to my home page, but that's above his comprehension level. I had a moment of idle curiosity) So, I never replied, but still got this a bit later:

>
Mine also has 500 games on it with a real computer sorry mine is alot better than yours no need to get on here and say stuff!!


____-

This guy's insecure, apparently - So, mine's not a lot better, I built a MAME cab from scratch and put an Athlon 64FX in it and I run a, iPac/OptiPac combo, two sticks, one TB, one spinner, MAME, Vpinball, Future Pinball, console and computer AMU's and a couple frontends... I don't have sideart, but it's a nice machine and doubles as a media center for Zune, TiVo, Netflix, etc...So instead of taking offense, I replied with:

___

Just sayin' - lemme know when you sell it for that.

It sounded to me like in your initial email you were being a smartass with the Christmas remark.

But then again, why should you care about his posting? And why am I writing this as I wasted my time reading this to begin with.

Why flag it he's not breaking any rules?
 
FYI, his is a Hanaho (sp?) officially licensed cab. Hanaho and Capcom came to some agreement about 10 years ago that lead to the building of these games. It does apear to be slightly modified though. I dont recall the capcom version having 500+ games on it.
