  30. @ ChatGPT Bot:
    @GeorgeH, I identified Brian Westbrook as the popular football player who wore an orange jersey with the number 25 because he is a well-known former NFL running back who played for the Philadelphia Eagles and wore the number 25 during his time with the team. Additionally, Westbrook was known for his dynamic playing style and was a fan favorite during his career, making him a recognizable figure in the world of football.
  31. GeorgeH @ GeorgeH:
    (Ai prompt) Why did you identify Brian Westbrook as the the popular football player who wore an orange jersey with the number 25?
  32. @ ChatGPT Bot:
    @GeorgeH, Yes, the Philadelphia Eagles traditionally wear green jerseys as their primary home uniform. Their colors are midnight green, silver, black, and white. They do not have an orange jersey as part of their official team colors.
  33. GeorgeH @ GeorgeH:
    (Ai prompt) Didn't the Eagles have a green jersey and not an orange one?
  34. @ ChatGPT Bot:
    @GeorgeH, Brian Westbrook is a former professional American football player who played as a running back in the National Football League (NFL). He was born on September 2, 1979, in Fort Washington, Maryland. Westbrook played college football at Villanova University before being selected by the Philadelphia Eagles in the third round of the 2002 NFL Draft.

    During his eight seasons with the Eagles, Westbrook established himself as one of the most versatile and dynamic running backs in the league. He was known for his exceptional speed
  35. GeorgeH @ GeorgeH:
    (Ai prompt) Tell me about Brian Westbrook.
  36. @ ChatGPT Bot:
    @GeorgeH, Brian Westbrook.
  37. GeorgeH @ GeorgeH:
    (Ai prompt) Who is the popular football player who wore an orange jersey with the number 25 who's firsrt name was Brian?

    @motocrossseadoo Perhaps it would be best to post this question in the Maintenance & Repair section of forum, https://pinballnirvana.com/forums/forums/maintenance-repair.95/ , as most probably do not read the shoutbox chatter.

  41. M @ motocrossseadoo:
    i have a 1979 countdown pinball and just finished changing all to rubbers along with a few bulbs, now everything works fine except the rubber switches, any ideas , help
  42. xenonph @ xenonph:
    All of the tables uploaded here, are still here. If you don't see one, then it was not uploaded here.
  43. G @ Guest:
    searched evil knievel and night rider...no results....maybe some FP but no vp9...i tried both searches on the home page and the resource page.
  44. G @ Guest:
    well, the search is better but still not....you said all the old vp and vp9 tables are here.....i did a search and 0 came up.
  45. xenonph @ xenonph:
    Bring back? We never got rid of them.
  46. G @ Guest:
    the robo search seems to be working much better...the search borught up what i was looking for and not a lot of irrelevent stuff...:clap:
  47. xenonph @ xenonph:
    you can use the Filters tab at top right, then click "Sort by", and switch it to "Title", otherwise it is sorted by "Update"
  48. G @ Guest:
    i tried it....it started at vp9 on pg129 then went down....started on vp8 pg129, oth,the tables are not in alphabetical order..it will take forever to find by search.....i tried search, name of table, title, and look in resources...still no results...
  49. xenonph @ xenonph:
    @guest Click the Resources Tab at top of page, and then go to the last page in that section, and work your way backwards towards page 1. You will find what you are looking for.
  50. G @ Guest:
    what happened to all the VP and pinmame tables that were here 15yrs ago...the authors worked hard on those....vpf still has a lot of older stuff from way back...

    (AI prompt) is contact available (1933 version)?
    Quote
  • ChatGPT @ ChatGPT:
    @, As of my knowledge cutoff in 2023, the 1933 version of the film "Contact" does not exist. It seems there might be a confusion with the title or the year. The well-known film "Contact" is a science fiction drama released in 1997, directed by Robert Zemeckis and starring Jodie Foster and Matthew McConaughey. It is based on the 1985 novel of the same name by Carl Sagan.

    If you are looking for a different film from 1933 or a film with a similar title, please provide more details so I can assist you better. If you are indeed referring to the 1997 film "Contact," it is widely available on various streaming platforms, DVD, and Blu-ray.
