Jonathan, I see you as a spokesman of all achivers, who want their prepaid TBLs, especially the ready for shipment ones.
You have many readers in the states, please be thankful for that and help this fellas out with your position as a well known editor and your native language Dutch. Shure, this is not an easy task, maybe someone link your name in the future with the (not yet) DP fiasco. But what important is, you made a try and this is what count. You can´t solve it alone, all involved sides must come together and find a suitable solution.
Don´t know Mr. Gerrit Zalm, is he involved in the pinball world, exp. the whole TBL story?
groet
Roland
