He doesn't seem to keep all the bloopers (not sure he makes many, he's
too polished for that) but he does keep the informative mistakes.

Hmm. I wonder if it was not enough room for a second chip or couldn't
make the price point or just someone got the wiring wrong.

My criteria are easy to navigate and easy to work on, and doesn't make
my eyes bleed. Others' eyes may vary, especially since the color scheme
on the Twilight Asylum is purple, green, red, and yellow. <g>

their BS detector ad...

The best was from before green screens, tho... 1960s, KRTV in Great
Falls MT, studio was up on a hill and sat in the sun all day, no air
conditioning and it got HOT in there. So since in those days they sat at
a desk to read the news, they'd wear the suit jacket on top... and just
underwear below. One night no one noticed that when they got up to file
out of the studio, the camera was still live....

Applies only if you're using FAT32, which I can't imagine why you would
in this day and age. Default on most flash drives now is exFAT. exFAT
looks like FAT32, but is its own thing. Older Windows will need an exFAT driver
to see 'em.

Can't keep up with the too many things I seem to be interested in,
especially during baseball season (Tarnish and one of the Dells are busy
displaying Angels and Dodgers games as we speak...)

want to see (tho I don't remember what product!)
