Hi y'all

I have been away since the 96 (?) manipulation of NTN by that Barron's columnist... but I always found the company and its interactive games interesting.

I was in a bar recently with some friends and they were all excited about playing.... just like in 96 when I was... I remember when I first did Karaoke, when it first hit the USA Midwest... It was great fun, but who would have believed there are people still in love with it. NTN is a good concept... hits a primary motivational nerve for many of us (competitiveness) and is fairly absorbing to play.

SO... I have been following it on and off these three years and finally, it appears something may be happening... The numbers don't look so hot... but is it time to return? What's the long term vision? Is there a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow or more dust in the mouth?

Why are most of you still here? Do you really think they will ever really make big money in this little game?
