Looks good Dean :-)

Which model is yours?

The Geovision question relates to using the .JPG camera image in ML - it
shows but doesn't update.

I second the AirPanels.

As a fellow Mainlobbiest i have 2 of them 1 x 10" and 1 x 15"

There's a picture of the 10" one on my coffee table in the lighting
and
gadgets bit of my website - http://www.samares. <http://www.samares.net <ht=

Have quite good SWMBO rating too - like do the Tesco's ordering a stuff

Whats the Geovision question - you can see mine in the same section of the
website.

The only downsides are the limited number you can have connected=20
concurrently without using something like Thinsofts WinXP server and=20
the odd unexplained disconnect.

I'm also going to respond to your thread on the Cinemar forums about=20
