Great Word as usual Jabber! I've invited all verbotomists to my house tonight to play Pong. Bring your Atari and you can attach it to my colour TV and we'll hook up Pong to the Black and White. We'll play some REAL video games. Everyone's welcome!! Purple, bring your Richard Harris and Beatle albums!!! I'll pick up a new needle for the record player on the way home from work.

sounds like a plan Stevenson0 and remistam, maybe it is the 'Age of Atariquarians'
