One thing that most already know is that the "other gentleman" has done a lot for this hobby for many, many years. His goal, as he has often stated, is for people to have fun collecting. With the recent IGT announcement, this is a crucial time for silver strike collectors, naturally causing people to have concerns and the need for all of us to come together and enjoy this time cannot be overemphasized.

Stay tuned for news about Art's publications Don. I'm hoping there will be an announcement before the convention.

Wouldn't you say that I'm a long time member of the club?

Also, I appreciate the picture you add to your postings. It's nice to see the good, old strike machines. As much as I like the reliability of the new machines, the old ones sure made the strikes seem like a VERY speical prize on display in the case.
