    Well they did credit him at the bottom of the pic. Its says EVNUT in the bottom right. I don't know if they got his permission or not. I don't think that was a good picture to use for that slide show anyway.

    I agree Jay, very odd choice. I mean they wanted a photo of "wires" to demonstrate that we're now wireless and that's the one they choose to use, complete with circles drawn on and such?

    Let's see what I get with a quick google image search...
    Yup, page one give a much more dramatic example...

    Though Darrell's is at the top of page one.

    How truly odd is that?

    Fist I've heard of its usage. And I agree that it is such an odd image to use to show "wires." And whoever it was went throgh the trouble of crediting me with the little EVnut box. You'd think the author could have used the extra effort to find a better picture of wires, ya know?

    Yeah. Odd choice of images. Is that the pin collection showing the GenII EV button hack? Does that mean the EV switch will be wireless in the future? Cool.

    Tony -

    Nope, not even that exciting. This was for getting the reverse video to work while not in reverse. To add even more intrigue(??) I don't even think that picture was originally mine, though I asked for permission to use it on my site. :)
