this is a really great thread! this could even be a neat enough thread to be a sticky. am i the only cop that owns a first gen on this board? the guys at the station always get on me about the 7, but i think its because they're jealous

 

Actually this same thread is in the lounge also. But it is not limited to 1st gen owners though.
