Great news Guod! Thanks for checking.

Cool stuff; I had no idea.

I just installed the latest Firefox, v3.6, and this page does not work. I checked it out in IE8, though, and it seems to work fine.

EDIT: nevermind; it eventually came up in FF3.6.

Nice site Panther, but yeah, it is s-l-o-w (a TM hallmark, IMHO). Does anyone know if there is similar software that comes with the panels?

Software that does this is not provided with the MFDs.

Thanks Joe. That's kinda nuts, what if the TM link goes belly up? I know you don't have any control, just thinking out loud. Maybe some enterprising individual can come up with something. (hint, hint) wink

Thanks!

IN STOCK @ Amazon

Awesome catch Panther!

I had a page saved, but it never updated. And while this is at Amazon via a 3rd party seller, I've had good luck with that in the past.

Ordered those babies today, thanks! smile

These just came in and I must say, for the price they are pretty impressive. Thanks again for the heads up, Panther!
