Blowin' In The Whirlwind is the winner.

My friend at work downloaded an app called Pinball Quiz.
It shows a picture of a part of a pin. It then gives you jumbled up letters to help you solve the name of the pin. We were playing it today and it was fun. It's also free. He was playing on a kindle. I didn't see it in the Apple store when I looked for it.

On twitch tonight a group from Chicago will be playing Red and Ted's Roadshow. A fun pin to watch live. They will be on from 6 to about 7:30 Eastern USA time. Search on twitch under Dead_Flip

From what I've seen in the past you would do very well with this.

I'm ok at it but it's actually pretty tough. They only show a small part of the playfield. But the jumbled up letters make it a little easier if you aren't sure.

OMG a Sony L-500 Beta tape!! We had loads of those when I was a kid. Though more L-750s than 500s. Yes, my family backed Betamax.

Okay, Pop Quiz! Who can, without looking it up, list the amount of recording time available on Sony Betamax tapes (L-250, L-500, L-750, etc)?

Personally I think this is perhaps the reason Betamax lost - VHS tapes were all like "yeah, E-120, that's 120 minutes of recording, any fool can figure that out!" whereas Betamax was all "L-500, that's, um, let's look at the back of the box and... oh, that's kind of arbitrary isn't it? Ah whatever it's better quality! Wait, where are you going? Come back!".

That's awesome. Did you notice the Sony B&N watchman. I wish I still had mine!!
