So this is not me doing a secret nod and a wink, I know the answer but I just can’t say sort of thing. Of course Zen is interested, and why wouldn’t they be? But no formal talks have been had.Here’s what I do know. There was a pub crawl in Chicago during Star Wars Celebration (both companies had booths there) with various Stern and Zen individuals, led by Gary. Zen has a certain ambitions that they want to happen regardless of who they are talking to. Witness the roll out of digital pinball cabinets that will happen soon (it was on display once more this past week at E3). It’s going to take the visions of both Zen and Stern lining up if any talks are to even start on a formal level. I was given a glimpse into that vision by being told some things about the cabinet I can’t repeat at this time. To say the least, if Stern comes onboard things are not going to be as simple as dropping off a machine with some CAD files and Zen just repeating how interactions were between Stern and FarSight. If Stern doesn’t see things the same way, I think Zen just says “nice talkin’ to ya” and keeps moving on.</blockquote>
