I’ve been traveling recently and on my travels I have searched for pinball machines, however none have been found. Until now!<\/p>\nI’ve been traveling recently and on my travels I have searched for pinball machines, however none have been found. Until now!<\/p>\n
I was in France last November and during that time I never saw a pinball machine. Of course I didn’t travel too far out of the Gard <\/a>d\u00e9partement<\/a>.<\/p>\n Three weeks ago I flew to Taipei, Taiwan to give a presentation on some Open Source software and some additional software that I wrote<\/a> for SGPIO<\/a> (SFF-8485<\/a>). When I was in Taipei I didn’t see any pinball machines. I did see lots of iPod knock-offs in the electronic markets though.<\/p>\n And now I’m on vacation in the South of France; I flew from Taipei to the Pacific Northwest to Amsterdam to the South of France in less than two days. Roughly 12,000 miles in 48 hours. And I wasn’t even jet-lagged!<\/p>\n I had just about given up on keeping an eye out for pinball machines in foreign countries until last night when I was walking around Montpellier<\/a> with some friends. There it was. A Terminator 3<\/a> pinball machine. Unfortunately, I did not notice which bar it was in!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve been traveling recently and on my travels I have searched for pinball machines, however none have been found.
