Perhaps one of the reasons for pinball's recent resurgence is the licensing. First a popular movie, then the most popular sport in the USA, and now the most popular board game in the world. What's left? Why, the most popular magazine, of course. I sure hope to see that at a future competition.

Most digit displays today are vacuum fluorescents, 7-segment LEDs, and LCDs. In the good old days, though, there were a variety of vacuum display devices, including the dekatron counter/display, and the nixie tube. DIY hardware hackers are still building clocks with them today.

Great God! This is an awful place and terrible enough for us to have laboured to it without the reward of priority... but for my own sake I do not regret this journey, which has shown that Englishmen can endure hardships, help one another, and meet death with as great a fortitude as ever in the past. We took risks, we knew we took them; things have come out against us, and therefore we have no cause for complaint, but bow to the will of providence, determined still to do our best to the last ... Had we lived, I should have had a tale to tell of the hardihood, endurance, and courage of my companions which would have stirred the heart of every Englishman. These rough notes and our dead bodies must tell the tale... Robert Falcon Scott, 1912
