yvanleterrible, your idea reminds me of those old table arcade games they used to have in bars.
@ TomC21: Whew, you don't ask for much, do you? Seriously, though, that is quite a set of questions, and some of the answers are still largely in a state of flux. You'd probably do best to have a look around the forums for yourself, and see what's here. The search feature would probably serve you well there, or you can look for threads dedicated to the topics you're interested in. I think you'll have better results if you don't get the info filtered through what we might
think you want to know.
