4 hours 99(me)to 95 (friend)played first one to 99 have a home table

Dont think I have heard of those tables.  Speaking from a tournament
players view...  The regulation (size excapes me right now) table is
what we play on..  But if this is just for family fun, go with what
fits your needs...  price? size? or whatever..

Can someone help me with a purchase of a table?
I am debating between carrom 84" and sportcraft.
The leg design of sportcraft looks better to me.
Otherwise,I am sure any 84" table will do.
Any opinions? Also, is the black light thing a big deal?

Longest game?  and score?

A 'game' can last forever.  But really you only have 7 minutes and
the most you can score is 7 points.  But of course if you do not
finish the game in 7 minutes then you put more quarters in and start
where you left off in the previous game.

NEED EXTRA CASH? NOT A SCAM!  TURN $6.00 INTO $6000 OR
$60000..............
I DID!...
READING THIS MESSAGE WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER! ...JUST TRY IT
AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS!
IT HELPED ME & IT CAN HELP YOU!... NOT A SCAM !... I REPEAT NOT A
SCAM!
THIS ONLY COST YOU A 6.00 CASH !!!INVESTMENT!!!
IT DOES WORK
!!!PLEASE READ ALL!!!
I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little
while back,
I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now,and came
across an
article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars
within
weeks with only an initial investment of
$6.00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but like most
of us,
I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00
to each
of the 6 names and address stated in the article. You then place your
own
name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the
article in at
least 200 newsgroups.
(There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it
over, and
talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I
figured: "what
have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, right?" Then I invested
the
measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!?...
within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I
figured
it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first
week, I
made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total
of over
$1,000.00! In the third week I had over
$10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I
have made
a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in
rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more
than
that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most
importantly,
WHY it works... Also, make sure you print a copy of this
article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it.
I
promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will
start
making more money than you thought possible by doing something so
easy!
Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or
download
it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in!
It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus
postage)
IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not
illegal; and
it is 99% no risk - it really works!
If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive
extraordinary dividends.
PLEASE NOTE:
Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be
yours in
20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty
and
integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by
carefully
adhering to the instructions.
You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business
your
product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in the
business of
developing Mailing Lists.
STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on
each piece
of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 US $1.00
bills and
place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not
be seen
through the envelope (to prevent
thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal
them.
You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper
stating
the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you
are doing
is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY
LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for
it!
Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about
the legal
aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S.
Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed
legal. Mail
the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:

#1)Christina Fox
2715 9th ave SW
Huntsville, AL 35805

#2)Steven Lum
2255 W Arthur Ave
Chicago, IL 60645

#3) Bryan Montz
P.O. Box 88070
Houston, Tx 77288

#4)Jason Lawrence
41902 brook ct.
Murrieta, CA 92562

#5) Reed Rosson
P.O. Box 120718
Nashville, TN 37212

#6)Sid Lake
5545 sky parkway#30
Sacto, Ca. 95823

STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move
the other
names up 1 place (#2 becomes #1, #3 becomes #2, etc...) and add YOUR
name and
address as number 6 on the list.
STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as
close to
original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at
least 200 newsgroups.(there are hundreds of thousands!) All you need
is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make! You
won't
get very much unless you post like crazy. :)
This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18
Sec. 1302
& 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of these steps for
yourself and, whenever you need money, you can use it again, and
again.
PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the
honesty
and integrity of the participants and by their carefully
adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of
integrity, the
program will continue and the money that so many others have received
will
come your way.
NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you,
either on a
computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. This
VERIFIES that
you are truly providing a service.
so, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed,
six
members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List
Developer with
one dollar each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so
that when
your name reaches the #1 position you will
be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for
only
$6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send it
now, add
your own name to the list and you're in business!
-----DIRECTIONS ----- FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS--------------
Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own
posting.
Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your
cursor
to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the edit menu.
This
will copy the entire letter into the
computer's memory.
Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top
of the
blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a
copy of
the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list.
Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If
you want to do your postings in different settings, you'll always
have this
file to go back to.
Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for
various
newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.)
Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new
message by
highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the
edit menu.
Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that
everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a
particular
group, click the post message button. You're done with your first
one!
Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is
jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of
it, it
will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE MORE
NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE! BUT YOU
HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin receiving
money
from around the world within days! You may eventually want to rent a
P.O.Box
due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If
you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as
the
postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE
CORRECT.**
Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM
200
postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each
of the
original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200
MINIMUM
posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an
additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the
MINIMUM
200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make
an
additional $625.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625
persons
post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each only
receive 5
replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all
deliver
this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5
persons per
200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With an original
investment
of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the list, you
just
take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00
to
names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start
posting
again. The thing to remember is: do you realize that thousands of
people all
over the world are joining the internet and reading these articles
everyday?,
JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it really
works??
I think so... People have said, "what if the plan is played out and
no one
sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening
when
there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are
joining the
internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try?
Estimates
are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those
joining
the actual internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will
really
work.

i'd like to know if there's any competition in Spain.

me gustaría saber de cualquier competición que se disputara en España.

Anyway, if you are going to Barcelona and want to play air hockey,
email me at sturlese@...

I am a NY air hockey player who will be in the Ft. Lauderdale area
(Boca, Miami) from 4/11 - 4/14, and in the Naples area 4/15 - 17/2002.

E-mail me back at KandMLR@... and tell me where it is that you
are and I may be able to arrange to play.

Also, an old pal Tim who is at e-mail:  tima1723@... should be
in Florida and plays competitively.

i bought the site "puckfloaters.com" in may of
2000. at the time, i had intended to put up a
comprehensive "locations & tables" database. things like the
locations address, hours of operation, contact info, phone
numbers, types of tables including top color, rail type,
overhead display, side sheilds, lighting conditions etc.
all db driven, user maintained (so you'd all have
logins and could add your own local tables),
etc.<br><br>a cool idea indeed but the point of this email is
that i haven't done this and it looks like i won't
ever do it. so i'm here to offer the domain

There's an extensive article on what to look for in a
table and how to go about finding one. Dynamo is
obviously the brand of choice (it's what all professional
tournaments are held on), but that isn't to say that there
aren't other acceptable alternatives. Give it a look and
maybe you'll find what you're looking for.<br><br>Good

www.airtablehockey.com doesn't work.  Does the USAA have a website on the net?

It seems the USAA website is down. A friend and I
were interested in starting a league here in

I used to live in northern VA, and I went to
Planet Play in Springfield Mall. I don't know if they
still have a working air hockey table, though. It had a
tendency to be out of order. I would think if you called
them, they'd be able to tell you.

Are there any places (bars/arcades/etc) in the northern virginia area with
tables?  Preferably close to herndon/reston...<br><br>thanks

Does anyone know where I might be able to find a Yahoo! Messenger airhockey
skin?
