Did anyone get a chance to look at these pics yet?  I'm still waiting to
hear back from the seller as well, but I'm surprised no one on here has
chimed in yet.  I just want to make sure I'm not looking at it wrong or
something.  I don't want to raise a stink then realize down the road that
I'm just crazy or stupid.  :P
