You know that pinball game that comes with windows? If it’s not on your start menu or start \> programs \> accessories \> games menu, it might be C:/Program Files/Windows NT/Pinball or something…

Anyway, what’s your high score on that game? Mine is 7,743,750.

Yeah, you know what. Nevermind. Anyone who was gonna post here, just go over to that other thread. I started this because that was mainly about strategy, but since people have started posting scores there too, why not? By the way, since I first posted, I’ve gotten to **11,619,250**.

My best score on it was a while ago, and since I have reformatted everything since then, I don’t recall the actual score, but it was over \<b\>21,000,000\</b\>
