Pikeletssssssss
Yeah, one of the "few instances" I refer to above was a pub in north London with a working ItBox but a new Paragon elsewhere in the pub - maybe there'll be a crossover period - maybe Paragon want to assess comparative takings of Paragon and ItBox at various test sites.

i don't tend to try and learn stuff (still don't know the scrabble 3s) but my PMP strategy is simple: make sure i have a pass. the only real pig categories are mountains, in the sky and pharaohs. apart from that it is knowing which vowel is likely and strategic N/R/T
explosives and terror groups are pretty easy as i'm sure you are aware.
nobody ever wins on those things.

while the human element is upsetting, i am quite happy in a purely selfish way. sorry to say that but it's my opinion.

Was chatting to a Leisure link engineer last Friday, he seemed a little resigned to his fate but was not sure if his job was under threat or not.

He said that a decision is imminent within the next ten days (7 now) as to whether Gamestec are to take over, however there are supposedly another 2 companies in with a shout.

He said that he didn't rate Gamestec's chances of running as tighter ship as LL. But maybe he would!!

Have seen several more Itbox sites go the way of Paragon, Gamesnet and Open.

Sorry, to add, he also thinks that the hardware is falling apart and will most probably be entirely replaced.
