I wonder if this has a Freudian background for Jeri ? 

I like her..... geek girls are cool

[Etienne MacGyver]

Yeah, she has something interesting, dont know what it is , but i like it too

also in the lecture video as she is telling the story about the dumpsterdiving for parts, or the time she put scissors into the cartridge slot of the C64 to see the effects    fantastic

its great how she did the "self learning" it is so recognisable, although i can never compete with her level

That's funny.

I started building one for the NW Pinball and Gameroom show last year, but was told about a month before that I didnt have room for it.

There is room for it this year, but no time.

(Oops, she already did in january this year, I barely ever watch my inbox on Youtube )

Maybe she saw one of my vids ?
