Oh noes... Anyone else having issues? They're all loading for me (in different browsers, and not signed into flickr)... I take it this happens even after a refresh?

Thank ya, sir -- best admin panel is a hidden one* if you ask me!
*With the exception of Pixelhugger's Mission Control, of course... that's a pretty darn sassy admin panel.

It's an honor for this thread to break your 1.5 year lurking streak :)
I try to use that rigid for everything now :o... it's so light and compact that it's replaced my usual go-to handheld router (mid sized Makita RF1100). Even though it sounds silly, I like the little LED light they added (in the newer model, from what I can tell). The hardest I've pushed it is pattern routing in 1/2 MDF (with sloppy rough cuts, too... I've had it chew through about an inch to get to the template, and that's with single passes), and with my weekend use it's been dealing with the stress well so far. I may be pushing it too hard, so YMMV, but we'll see!
The only complaint (if you can call it that) I have so far is that pulling the base off for bit changes is a little tougher than standard routers. That said, I'd rather have a tight base than one that allows for depth creep. Still not sure how it compares to the Colt, but I'm not too concerned at the moment... maybe if I smoke this one I'll be forced to give that a spin (heyoo!).

Any chance you live in NE or IA? I would love to come check this thing out. Amazing!
What kind of video card are you running and how do you have the outputs going into the 3 lcd panels? One video card with 3 outs? I kind of grasp the playfield and the top art panel outs but how you are managing the middle small panel is crazy, unless the software does all that for you.
What is the function of the ball plunger rather than the button? Obviously very authentic and cool but does it have full functionality, the harder you pull it back the farther the ball somehow goes?
