How long did it take you to start reaching in the right place for the power switch on the new Spike system? It took me a solid week of playing every day to stop reaching under the game to turn it on/off.

I have all of them. Never been an issue.

My real problem is having a pingulp installed on the right

I smash my F'n hand into it all the time going to turn a game off/on

One day I will take it down & give it the "office space fax machine" treatment

Thought about doing that. I went with the external volume adjuster instead.

Ditto. That's why I bought all new "lefties" and sold all the "righties" for pennies on the dollar.
