Yeah, I don't see GF caring for a MAME cabinet too much.  Not a big
deal now, but it could be a big deal if we get married, which I'd like
to happen soon enough that it wouldn't be worth all the effort if it
is going to be a major problem.

At least she isn't threatening to yardsale my consoles like her
brother's GF is.
 
I could always build it to donate to my churches youth group.  I think
they might appreciate it.  I already loaned them for a LAN gaming time
a PC (in a little bit I might just donate it to them.  It's old, but
they were playing RTS type games and the Voodoo3 made up for the slow
processor).  Have fun building the thing.  Make kids happy.  Not have
huge box to move when I move.

I don't think I care to bother with a trackball or spinner.  I'm not
even sure what would use a spinner.
