Hi Folks...

Just a note to inform you about a recent chat I had with our IGT rep...still can not get a machine though.

While discussing the Strike situation in general he advised me of a new program at the Reno Airport with chasers of course (timing unknown) and his attempts to get other casinos in Reno to update their designs. it seems that Strikes are the furtherst thing from these places minds and they are content to just lay back. Maybe it would help if some of you would write the Slot Directors at the different clubs expressing displeasure at the lack of attention and updates!

Now for another subject. I usually lay silent watching the goings on in the strike community but I feel it is time to speak out. The constant bickering amongst collectors seems to have gotten worse during the past few years. Makes me wonder if starting up a program is even the correct thing to do. The last thing I want in my slot department is alot of nasty infighting and backstabbing that seems to be occurring on this board....just some thoughts!
