My wife has been extremely cool about it since day one. Every man needs a hobby or two of some sort. I wish my kids were more into it. They were at first, but then the interest waned. My wife has never really played or cared to. We did refinish the gargage and make it part of the house b/c of pinball. That's a plus!

Funny thing, my Dad plays the hell out of them!

Also met some great people through the hobby.

Another positive: you can usually get most, if not all your money back when you sell. A fact that does not hold true for most other hobbies.
