coin-operated computer network,
Micro Coin (Play Meter, April 15, p.
110). His artide gave us exposure to
our peer group, other operators, who
wrote and called from across this
country and Canada telling us what
they were looking for, something inno-
vative with a longer life expectancy,
such as our computer network.
I believe operators are ready to enter
the computer era; they just need a way
to get there through their existing busi-
nesses. We are planning to bridge the
worlds of computers and amusement
operators by marketing our fully coin-
operated Micro Coin computer net-
work.
We are devoted Play Meter readers
and feel your magazine provides
insight and issues we may not be aware
of if it wasn't for your articles. Keep up
the great job.

HUNDREDS MORE-A TREMENDOUS SELECTION
Leisure Time suit
In your June 15 issue (p. 10) is a
news spot on the FTC suit against
Leisure Time Electronics. ~
I contacted the FTC twice since that
time. They said they would send infor-
mation about their complaint against
Leisure Time. Nothing was ever
received. Finally on the third call, the
lady said that it could only be released
on a Freedom of Information Request
basis.
Because your publication has an
interest in protecting operators from
the sale of inferior products, I urge
your office to make such a request as
above, if necessary, to assist in ensur-
ing that all who were caught-up with
Leisure Time know how to proceed
with their claim and I or to assist in
providing information to the FTC that
would compris-e additional evidence.
