In the vernacular of the Web forums, a virtual pinball machine is a "virtual cabinet", which is always shortened to "cabinet" or just "cab". If you're new to the forums, the name might seem weirdly generic. But it makes sense in the context of the forums, because the "cab" forums are only one part of a broader community that's interested in PC pinball emulation in general. Everyone in the broader community plays virtual pinball on a PC, but usually it's just a regular desktop PC or laptop. The thing that distinguishes the "cab" faction is that we ensconce our pinball PCs in these elaborate pieces of furniture.
