Re: TMNT reseting during game

Thanks Ray!

I think I'm going to have to check out that Bridge.  It seems to only happen
a few seconds into ball 3 and since we don't have a furnace or even a heater
running right now (very nice in Texas today), I don't think its the plug,
but I will definitely check it out.

or could it just be the fact that I was planning on hauling this thing to
auction next weeking! ;-)

Thanks again
