Oh, man, that must have been awesome. Yeah, it sure was an expensive system to buy for, though!

You can buy stuff to make these playable on a regular TV but with the ease of emulation I just don't see the point (id love another arcade machine if I had the room)...
Years ago I briefly had a moment of thought about getting a Jamma system but I decided that my electronics knowledge just wasn't enough for that kind of setup. It looks so cool but I think you need the skills to setup and maintain that system. As you say, emulation is probably more suitable for most folk.

I always enjoy seeing you throw different stuff into the mix, kerr!
