Doug, Another congratulations from me. I took a look at the site and I might just sign up. My dad likes to play Texas Hold 'em and I'd like to kick his butt! :) Glad to hear the generic model/components work for you too. I'm using them and there have been some headaches, but overall I like the clarity.
