Hello to everyone I have just registered and will be doing the home abs exercise.

One quick question... I want to loose my disgraceful beer gut. I'm skinny build but have this terrible belly since about 17.

At home I have a cross trainer machine but that is it. Do you think electronic abdominal exercise machines are any good? Would I be better off buying a matt and rocker thingy..?

Excuse my vocab I'm a complete fitness newbie and know more to my friends as a complete drunk!! haha :o)

Abs are said to be made in the kitchen, not the weightroom. Cut back on some of your carbs, especially unnecessary ones like sugar, and cut back on some fat. Eat protein after cardio and do HIIT running. That should help.
The electronic devices are a waste and so are the ab rollers, if thats what you're talking about. Buy a stability ball and do crunches on that. that will be more effective. Hope that helps. I always defer the questions that I answer to BB1, though because he is knowledgable of tricks and small unknown facts that could also help you, so maybe he will respond as well.
