I'd feel worse about Checkers (or Chess or any other game) than I would
about certain others.  If you stick to Typing Tutor, Personal Finance,
Handyman, and Spectaculator and Scripsit, you won't hurt my feelings.

In the long run, it would be nice to have a nice replacement source.
I personally would prefer plastic (either molded or machined) to metal,
but the material really doesn't matter much.

I've considered doing a cartridge run of Fahrfall, if/when I ever
get back to it...
