Thank you all for this fantastic information. I have been out of town on business, and while I could have 'enjoyed' it by spending my time relaxing reading pinside.... I commited myself to getting work done. BUT, now I'm home! Yeah!........

So now I can enjoy reading all of the posts here on pinside. So, reading all of these I will have to agree, that perhaps I should wait. Even though I am SOLD on the idea, and really like the theme, I may be able to 'invest' this money and develop enough cash flow for when this game actually ships.... and decide if I like it or not.

This post that I quoted above really got me thinking. The reason is that WOZ is really a machine all of it's own... it is spectacular in it's own way, it is also revolutionary in it's presentation and technology...... It also, is simply not for me. Since I had the opportunity to play it, while being fun, I would not pay the price requested. Not that I wouldn't want to own one, but it would have to be really discounted for me to add it to our collection.

So I appreciate everyone that has taken the emotion out of this purchase for me..... which is never a good way to spend money... hard earned.... and never coming back from a Pinball purchase as I am not a 'route' owner.

Thank you all so much for your input and always informed information.

I am actually looking forward to it. But really appreciate everyone's honest opinions that took the 'emotion' out of it.

Now need get back to studying on how to actually make this happen thru cash flow and having those purchases provide me with my luxuries instead of the 'knee-jerk' reaction of just saying hey, bank, give me some money, which they will gladly do.

But you know... knowing who you are... that this is simply, not how it's done.

I thank everybody for keeping me grounded. I will own this game. Just not right now.

I am so sorry, I didn't want to mislead you. I am totally a JJP fan with this business venture. In fact I am all in for any company to take a risk, provide any product that they can sell, and reap the benefits that it may provide to itself , it's customers, and employees.

I am a consistent person in that I am cautious with my money. I am 'emotionally' wanting to make this purchase. But rationally have to wait. I just don't have the excess 'fun' cash currently. But I soon will. Because I make rational decisions.. (at least for me.) I would pre-order in a hearbeat if I was at that point right now, but now I am currently not in that position.

As for the 'constant ragging' on this website... I will have to say that this is the most reliable, and the most honest opinions that I can gather. It is without a doubt priceless. I have to read a lot of reviews, forums, opinions, in my job and have to filter through all of this mess,,,,,,, and this website is definitely NOT a mess. It is priceless to me.

Undoubtedly everyone has an opinion and I don't agree with all of them, but this is the most 'civil' and informational of all websites for me personally.

Again, I didn't mean to be misleading. I support JJP whole heartedly. Wish I was in at the bottom floor. Think they are going places.... just not ready to pull the trigger yet on this one.

Back on Topic:

Thank you all for the kind advice. It is always appreciated. And thank you for the 'Welcome' into the hobby. It is one I thoroughly enjoy. Am learning everyday, and helps me relax very much. Now I'm off to kick some 'Tron' butt.... more precisely 'Quorra'...

And if that fails..... I will enjoy rockin' to some AC/DC...

And if that fails....... I will spend some quality time 'talking' with the wife, listening and listening, to all of the wonderful interesting things she has to share......
