Hey all, yeah, I'm still here- sorry for the radio silence. Life's still doing a great job of giving me a rectal exam using multiple fingers and no glove, but hopefully in the next month or so things will start to turn around for me.
My apologies to all who were trying to reach me while I was offline.
In the interim, I am happy to say that I have not abandoned this hobby by any means. I did start to walk down the dark path in some sense though: I have given up on bringing my Monaco GP Cockpit back to life, and am in the process of converting it into a PP MAME game (I can almost hear everyone running away as I type those 4 letters). A coworker donated a 19" monitor to me, I loved PP as a kid, and even while I'm in the process of wiring it up, my daughter is already deeming it the game she's going to play more than any of the others (she's been playing it right off of the keyboard I'm using to test the game with!).
Nonetheless, I'm still here. Thanks to all who wondered where I'd gotten off to!
VG.
