Hey Dean

Are you going to bring back the video recorder for our presentations? I really liked being able to see ourselves from that perspective, I don't particulary enjoy doing them in front of the camera, but I think it helps me learn to deal with the pressures we most certainly will feel when we do the presentations for real.
