    Quoted from DakotaMike:

    I like the idea of talking about pinball terms and their history. For instance, things like "fan layout" and "Italian bottom" aren't necessarily terms that everyone just automatically knows what they mean.

    I agree with this and think Jeff is on the right track. There's a lot about pinball that even veterans don't learn, and a lot of that depends on how they approach the hobby. For example, I know very skilled competitive players that don't know the designers for their favorite pins. Whereas to collectors that is often a big deal.

    Many common terms aren't really known, and aside perhaps from the most famous historical elements (WMS ending in 1999, Roger Sharpe and the NYC ban) I think a lot of the history is unknown even to pinheads.

    So I think this is a very good idea, especially if it's really limited (what's 60-120 seconds to learn something cool about pinball?)!
