    Quoted from Nexyss:

    Didn't Stern's marketing guy come from pinside? That could explain it. Did they ever call it a table before now?

    I believe they started using "table" after virtual pinball grew in popularity and made the term more common.

    The British always referred to them as tables but they call a trunk "boot", so what do they know?

    They'll always be machines to me. "Tables" just grates on my nerves like nails on a chalkboard.
