How I got started in pinball

When I was around 12 two neighbors had pinball machines.  I was a horrible player, but loved trying to learn.  There was an arcade with EM machines and the first SS machine I saw I believe might have been Mata Hari.  I got better and spent many hours and allowances in this local arcade in Fort Smith, Arkansas.  I begged my parents for a pinball machine of my own and received a Fireball.  I kept if for about 15 years and wish I still had it.

I really got back into pinball heavily just over a year ago after attending the Pinball Showdown in 2007 near Denver.  I currently own a Firepower and a Pinbot.  I would like to purchase a No Good Go'fers.
