@BAHU, when you get to a point where you feel this project is completed, would you ever consider selling a dvd (or multiple dvds) with these videos on them? I don't do a lot of Youtube watching due to living in a house with two inconsiderate roomies when it comes to hogging bandwidth but I would enjoy having the visual component to these. If you'd rather have this conversation in PMs, I respect that as well. Thank you. The audio portions are highly informative.
