      Sounds interesting, I look forward to the videos! Should the title read "Foundation"?

      It does now - regular users can't change thread titles, not even their own.

      Thanks Neil, but it still says "fondation" on the home page... the thread title is fixed however.

      Great stuff, thanks for posting! Unfortunately I was overseas that week, couldn't attend.

      But some of these schools remind me of why they are essentially extinct, too.....
