Look for a video soon of the new digital Wall of Fame we just unveiled at ACAM during the tournament. I'm happy with how it turned out, and we still have a lot of things we will be adding to it in the future.

Cheers,

David

Is it something available over the 'net or an exclusive at-the-scene affair?

I am really pleased with all of the positive feedback we are getting on the ACAM Digital Wall of Fame. Keeping up with all of the photos & scores on the ACAM walls was an endless task and we were always six months behind. Having this incredible resource means that all of our players will get instant recognition & gratification for their efforts.

I think the combined effort on this project between ACAM and Aurcade proves, once again, that our respective organizations are the driving force pushing our hobby forward. From my own perspective, nothing pleases me more than providing an incredible service like this to the gamers. Seeing the jaws drop and the smiles when we turned it on made all of the countless hours of work worth the effort.

David Hernly, as usual, did an awesome job being the "visionary" and getting the software together. Gary Vincent & Bob Lawton took care of the purchase of the 42" touchscreen monitor. I provided the on-site server that drives the display and took care of all of the "back-end" stuff to make it work. Putting in several thousand dollars of hardware & infrastructure was a huge risk for all involved, but I think it paid off in the end.

Ken, you ARE coming to the ACAM tourney next year and I am not taking "no" for an answer. :)

The new wall of fame is brilliant! Great job ACAM and Aurcade!

The touch screen is amazing. No more playing "arts & crafts" taking pictures off the wall, changing out the photo, printing a new label, putting it back together and screwing it to the wall. Computers are great :-)

It sounds like you guys put your heads (and wallets) together to develop this awesome device. As Gary was saying, changing out the photos of record holder placards and keeping up with new records would be time prohibitive. This type of automation is just what's called for. I can't wait to see it and try it myself (and get a score up there!) Great work all!

We are still doing a LOT of data entry as we speak. Keep an eye out!
