    By the way, where did you find that rackbuilder? Most of the ones I've seen don't let you put on devices. Lukasz Gaszewski's does allow for devices, but I don't see how one would be able to save the result as an image.

    Could anyone show the complete rack of Everett Parker pope. He won the MOH on Pelilieu?
