Hi All,

I agree wholeheartedly with Chris, after all we are playing with a higher intelligence TOY
so can we also expect that the player could also be of a little higher intelligence than the average 
player out there. 

I mean we are doing hardware development here.  There are soooooooo many ways to fry everything
that expecting Parallax to have to make the Key IDIOT proof is asking toooooo much.

The Key is fine as it is, and to stop the Mechanical stress problem (ie plugging it in straight to the board)
I made a flexible extension cable. This way The key sits on the table and the cable from it (very short)
reaches up into the board. 

I guess this can aslo serve as a slotted connection if you keep the flexiple end always plugged into the board
and have one made for each board and one for the Key.

Common Guys, we are making things here so why can't we show some more deligence while plugging
things in. I never ever turn the power on until I have checked my connections and then double checked
again.

Samuel
