content: Whatever happened to Dave II? We've seen a few brief mentions of the guy but the last time he was featured was the 3D Printer. I understood that Dave II was recruited so that there would be more EEVBlog projects but so far all we have seen is the multimeter.

content: I've said this countless times now, David2 works from home now, and is very busy with uni and other projects. He still works on stuff when he has the time.I will probably ultimate need to hire another lab rat, with David2 continuing to work on projects remotely.

content: Fan Club? No, not really, but I was hoping to see additional construction projects coming from EEVBlog Towers and more use made of that lab full of equipment. If I had access to facilities like that I would be building ham radio gear to die for.

content: Uni is definitely something we in the UK picked up from the Aussies. I remember watching Neighbours when I was at university and some of the characters were off to uni. It sounded odd then but doesn't now.
