Wil, I'm really glad you like my pals at Northern. It's dangerous... their store is only a short 15 minute walk from my house! Hmmm... just realized I'd better get another batch of brew going! That keg is slowly but surely getting emptied.

My first gaming gizmo was a little box that my Dad brought in from work that would play tic-tac-toe...and would BEAT YOU. "Big Deal" I hear you say. It was. This was around 1958 and my Dad was an engineer at Bell Labs. My guess is that little box with the little lights probably cost a couple of grand to make.
