You have finally prompted me to post a long-overdue <a href="http://solenoid.wordpress.com/2007/02/16/game-over/" rel="nofollow">farewell</a> on Solenoid, whose theme is as handsome as it is non-unique. </p> <p>And lest there be any concern that pinball is taking a back seat to a cute box of shiny plastic, let me assure you, gentle readers, that pinball is mightily strong, undoubtedly stronger and more enduring than any video game console could ever hope to be. Though we are honored to give the Wii 24/7 surge-protected 120VAC and a spot in our "media storage system."</p> Mike, I thank you.
