Had a nice long chat with Fred last night. It was very inspiring. And informative.
Everything is different now that Fred (and a few other notable people as well…) is making such a big contribution in so many ways to the R&D of the DIY ‘deuce’ project.
We are now fine-tuning it so that we can send [...]

Someone once said that a picture is worth a thousand words, so here’s 7000 words about the DIY ‘deuce’…
