The thing is, people who put Judy to work probably knew on forehand that she would make something that is useable.

Oh and I'm second, I had this vid standing in line to watch it for a week. The vids of the CHM are about a hour long and time is spars for me at the moment.

First!

4 days and I'm first....

Not satisfying, no.... not satisfying in the least.

This is a very important, perhaps of utmost importance to the future of technology in general. Yet there is no discussion taking place here.

At least presentations of this caliber and genre have a home and there are viewers. Still, I am disappointed and discouraged there is no discussion here when content on YT of questionable value is inundated with replies, conflict, and active discourse.
