Once again, if that really is that much of a concern (sheesh, what kind of friends do you people have anyway?), an easy solution is wiring the
Tab button to a hidden master switch. Then the button can be enabled or disabled as needed.

I did play with the idea of having one dedicated admin button - but then I thought - "why?"

Fair enough; different people's needs are different.
It's just a pet peeve of mine that invariably whenever a "what admin buttons should I use" thread comes up, certain people get on their soap box to preach about not using any. And this is usually regardless of the person's needs or wants.

grrr re-write reply because I got logged out and lost all my work :cry:
After Defender and Robotron I need a 3rd panel to make up the minimum order on the graphics print. I like q*Bert Graphics and it's easy to do so that's the main reason. My panel with 4way stick will take more thinking about, eg I like Pengo but not the graphics, and vice versa for Pacman.
