This is great. I would love to see the whole thing in person but Oregon is a long way from New York City. I'll settle for the videos which are great too. When will segment 2 be up?

The next 3 Movie Mondays will be the rest of this clinic, then we'll move to the first Decoder Pro clinic segments.

Before we did our last house renovation in 2004, we had a door bell that could be programed to play various tunes when some puched the button. I used to set it to different things like Big Ben and Mary Had a Little Lamb. But my altime favorite for aome strange reason was:
I've been working on the railroad.
I wish I had that bell these days. It was replaced with something different that comes as part of our intercom system that lets us find out who is at the door. It's one of the things one needs in post 9/11/01NYC.

Jay:
Yes, next week.
I did good to have something to post for Movie Monday this week, given everything going on last week ... convention, op session, work, family events - I had something every single night last week, plus Saturday was the op session - sheesh!
My wife commented on Sunday she was completely worn out from the constant go-go-go!
So yes, I'll get the powerpoint slides put up ... for next Movie Monday ...

Great video Joe, I liked the optimal height comment. Puts it between 3' & 4' for me. Something I had not thought of.
