+1 on the videos. I remember requesting that like 2 years ago

Also: as an FYI we found USB drives for $2.50-$4.00 depending on the capacity when we were researching them for purchase. There's been a lot of wild numbers flying around that are much higher and I wanted to set the record straight.

We do have presentations and templates for them, but not a generic
release presentation, if that's what you're referring to. I've added a
