That Horrible Jeri Ellsworth
« on: November 24, 2008, 02:08:25 AM »
Boy, am I provocative or what? ;-)

Anyhoo, I'm pretty sure this isn't Jeri Ellsworth. The "her" in question comes in about 3:55, during the laundromat song.


...I pretty sure this is, though.

Thanks for that link...I found her profile at linkedin from that!  Says that Jerry has been working as an engineer at NewTek since September.

Her Linkedin profile is here.

Well if anyone embodies the spirit that got Newtek started in the first place, it's her.

And she has a PinBot machine?  I'm in :love:

BTW, the "her" is Felicia Day, which is more than just a woman, but a special holiday which I will forever celebrate in my heart.

[Another Edit]: I had a Tempest arcade game when I was 16.  Had to replace the monitor altogether.  Luckily, an arcade shop in town still had an old X-Y laying around.  Worked like a charm after a few minor component replacements.  Then I set about restoring the machine as much as I could before my dad retired.  Unfortunately, the Air Force wouldn't move the arcade game for us, so I had to sell it for $280.  God I loved that game.

Wouldn't mind building up a collection of arcades myself one day, but judging by the popularity of arcades these days, they may become VERY expensive by then.

Would love to get PinBot (lost a whole summer's wages from lawn mowing on this one,) CyberSled (I kicked ass at this game,) Gauntlet, Galaga and Ms. PacMan (who wouldn't, right?) and Joust.  And, of course, get my Tempest back.  *sigh*

[Final Edit]: Good night!  I can't read about, look at, or watch her any more without thinking "I am your slave!"  She's done things that I dreamed about and wanted to do so badly, but got distracted somewhere along the way.  Tons of drawings, schematics, and plans, but never anything tangible.  I bet that even my drawings are no good having sat in non-climate-controlled storage on the Florida coast for (Dear God!) 14 years now.

If you've got the money, now is the time to buy. Game prices are way down unless it's a rare, popular game.

There's a lot of games for sale in southern Fla. and Georgia right now.

Look on eBay if you want to pay high prices. Craigslist and the arcade game forums are your friends if you want to find some good deals.

Good luck!

Why the thread title of "Horrible"?  Is there something in her past that deserves such a title?
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)
