Hello all,
another one of those "D'jever notice" questions...
In the majority of cases, when we have houseguests they approach my machines
as if they were fragile, Ming dynasty vases-- "Uh, can we play them?" "Is
it okay to put my drink on the glass?" Okay, no wisecracks about system 80
electronics (oh all right, let's have some), but do your houseguests behave
the same?
Sometimes I will demonstrate how to shake a machine, and the guests just
stare, wide-eyed. Granted, if you do a bang-back on my games you will be
escorted to the door (in my opinion, unnecessary in the home setting,
competition setting is a different matter), but it seems the guests are
barely willing to hit the start button...
Regards,
Dan
