RSS is is the next big internet thing! You can get news feeds from major news networks, information from great web sites, or even updates from your favourite band!
All of this webformation coming straight to you, and you can read it when you want to.
"RSS" stands for "Really Simple Syndication", but what this means to you is that you don't have to check Pinball Fixers each week to see if there's something new.
Each time we update a page, or create a new one, we release it through RSS so you can be notified about it without having to search the site.
The best part about it is you don't need to subscribe to an email newsletter, you don't even have to give out your email address!
So there's no need to worry about email spam, or people selling your email address for profit!
So how do you do it? Easy!
Download an RSS reader to your computer. (If you don't want to do this, scroll down to the bottom for other options...)
Windows:
RssReader
Mac:

Or a Cross-Platfrom RSS reader that does an excellent job:

And that's it! You're subscribed.
