RE: 20 sitdown starwars left in the world

Maybe his brain only allocates one byte for counting and he overflowed a
couple of times.

If he's right, then I've owed a pretty large % of the cockpit star wars. It
also means that I've seen most of the other 10 in the last 2 years.

Does this guy have a web site by any chance?

thought you guys may get a kick out of this:

"There are only about 20 sitdown starwars left in the world and I have
10"

That gem was uttered by J. Thompson - UK Arcade dealer and Con Man on
the BBC TV program Look North West yesterday evening.

If you'd like to see the full article (including a couple of seconds of
people failing to play starwars and space invaders) then grab it were:

there's an audio only version here:

If you'd like to congratulate the BBC on the accuracy of the report or
maybe say Hi if you are one of the lucky people how owns one of the 10
StarWars Machines in existence not operated by Mr Thompson then why not
drop them an email:

   nwt@bbc.co.uk
