Hi Ky!

 KM> He's a former professor of computer science (or something like,
 KM> at Nottingham no less -- used to ride the same public transit as
 KM> the Periodic Videos guy!) and is now a professional presenter. So
 KM> he has a full set of clues on how not to dwell on the boring
 KM> parts. :)

He did learn something from the snoozing students in the lecture hall!
....Was sort of nice to see he as a professional and knowledgeable person
also had those change of plans as the project progressed: what works on 
paper doesn't necessarily work in real life.  And the plan to send the 
copper boards off to be laser cut - don't recall the reason he didn't 
but most of us would probably save the money (and processing time) by 
doing at home, even though the results might not look totally
professional.


 KM> Unlike a few I could name, who spend WAY too much time filming
 KM> the mundane and repetitive, and not nearly enough on the useful
 KM> bits.

Yup.  And some cut too much: how did you get from this point to that 
one?  And thinking of some of the Raspberry Pi cases: if insert the 
board this way won't fit easily but this other way it falls right into 
position.  Tell us that!!  Or at least show.


 KM> While back Chris had one comparing various SD card options that
 KM> was so useful, I printed out the results chart to carry with me
 KM> for when I next buy SD cards.
 
Oo! Have the link?  I've see where a brand looks to be the same except 
the colour is different.  Obviously a reason, but what?
