I recall eating lunch on set one day on the lawn at universal studios looking up at the famous clock from back to the future (several years after the movie was made). I always liked that part of the studio. You could visualize the doc and marty there. good times.

"Everything Has USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE" What a brillant idea from your fans to send you that shirt! That's the right slogan for you!...

[DaveCurran]

Pleased you liked the spectrum keyboard kit. It's only sacrilege if you start with a perfectly working spectrum. These are designed as a good way to upcycle ones with damaged membranes, failed ULAs, or otherwise beyond economic repair. By the way, it's tyne as in time, not tin, but everyone gets that wrong.

EVERYTHING HAS USER REPLACEABLE PARTS INSIDE! Hi! i'm from Holland, Michigan. Love your Videos, Dave!

If you showed all three BTTF movies one after the other it would be "Back to Back to Back to the future!"

Every week I ask myself why am I watching this, a guy from the internet opening mail. No answer yet, I guess I need to continue watching until I'll find one, what a weird compulsion.

A lot of channels I subscribe to have mail segments that are popular. Normally I don't understand why, but I get yours. In your mailbag you open the stuff, and then give us a run down of what it is, how it works, and it's all very informative.

Man, this video was so full of blatantly intentional innuendos! I always have a laugh at the occasional subtle one, but damn Dave, you went all out today! Funny guy! Keep up the great work, and have a good day mate :)

I think you meant "you can remotely detonate you clock in style"

Hi Dave, Michael the "everything has user serviceable parts inside" t-shirt guy. There are now two of these t-shirts in the world. Maybe someone will pick it up and make a bunch! I figured you could always shrink the shirt, but making it bigger? Tough to do. Glad you got a chuckle out of it. Seems to me that there's a pretty select group that can actually fix stuff these days. Cheers to all of us!

Von Hand = manual control ( it means literally "by hand" )

[LEKProductions]

What's the switch under the print spool for on the Dymo?

At 6:27 there is a pair of Dale 0.025 ohm resistor. Seems an incredible low value, darn close to a short. What is that about?

[SoCalFreelance]

It's four minutes into Oct 21 right now, wow, welcome to the future!

[paulhoward]

That Lemaker board took me back to my first encounter with a microcontroller. I bought a SimmStick AVR development board from Dontronics. It was a good little kit, the DT-006, Little rAVeR.

Our Cinema in the UK, is having a Back to the Future marathon!

[MrCanidi]

German seriell = english serial, lernen = learn and "von Hand" = manually / by hand

[ElDiabloOscuroo]

I will watch it with you Dave. I'm a big fan of the franchise.

About those LED connectors you've "never seen before", they were giving those away in cut tapes of 5 for free at Electronex, at that booth with the industrial DIN connectors and stuff.
