Hello, the video file has been fixed and the flash file added, so enjoy the viewing.
enthused..yes
elegant...no
well worth the watch
however care is needed in slipping into "metamath'
a set of mathematicians is not a mathematician
...patternless in one language.. compressionable in another
random on one computer...not on another
But , it is all worthwhile
