I LOVE your attitude! We had an old family friend come over last weekend, and I didn't even know if he'd be into pinball or not (much less his two kids), but within one hour of playing, he was enthusiastically planning for when he would have not one, but two, in his basement. He asked if we could hook him up with intel and guidance when he was ready. And his boys were already competing to best each other on AC/DC.

I agree, that is how the hobby will spread. It lives or dies on word of mouth, and in the new social media age, it's NOT that hard to do that. One pinball fan can make a difference in the hobby. We all can.
