Thanks for the heads-up, just ordered one! This should tide me over until Claytor's pinball watch comes back on the market!
Quoted from flynnibus:it's unfair to let anyone claim 'losses' when they are never behaving like they are trying to make a profit in the first place.
Wait, are we talking about a Vice News story or a tax audit?
