wow how are u going to use that? A laptop LCD requires a whole bunch of complex LVD control signals.. Unless you put in the laptop with it and link via serial?

That's a nice looking control panel. Very clean. We always tend to struggle in coming up with new and creative control panels each year. In fact, for the past two years, we have stuck with a very similar design that has been very useful and efficient.

I do have one question, more for my own understanding than anything else. Is this going to be for use in the 2007 season? I was always under the impression that the OI and associated control panels had to be built during the season. Although there are no explicit rules about in the manuals, it always seemed like that was the intentions. In addition, the various Q&As that relate to it all state that it can not be updated except during Fix-It windows (again, implying that it can't be built outside of the alloted timeframe).

Just curious, I guess.

Again, great job on the OI.
