    "Old School" Paintball article, scanned on Doc's Site

    This MIGHT be just as bad as "Slash-dotting" or "Farqing" someone's site, but I figured there's enough old-school players lurking about.



    1987 Annual of "American Handgunner" Magazine, and what they thought of paintball at the time.

    So cue up your tape of "Iron Eagle", zip on a Kenny Loggins tape, and enjoy.

        I've already been "Slashdotted" when they found my bowling-ball mortar page. Couple of days hovered around the quarter-million hits-per-day range.

        My servers never even started breathing hard. I got some fat pipes and big discs.

        Articles are posted to be read, go read 'em.
