Could we stop the wi-fi safe discussion. I don't mean to sound like Nano, but I expected previews (or comments on them) when I entered the thread. The discussion is indeed interesting, but why not start a thread for it or something. nano complains about this often, now I understand him.

About that protoman, when looked at from the front, his head looks rather odd. I'm not sure if it is the shape or the thin neck, but something is not right with his head.
