     Also, how
many of you remember the old "pong" game that had the paddles
 built into the unit?  My family had one of those, I'd like to know where
 it is now! :-) My brother still has one of those and I found one at the Goodwill
for a couple

 bucks. They're still around but pretty rare.

   I have a SuperPong, which is a console with the two paddle controllers
built in, just as in Pong, but it is selectable between 4 different games.  We
bought this new somewhere in the 1977-78 time frame if I remember correctly. 
I entertained a 4 and 6 year old with it a couple weekends ago!
