What you say about the video editing is no doubt true. The funny thing is that by the time I finished swapping the two drives in and out <em>twice</em>, I got pretty damn good at it.

In watching it, I noted that it did not show him doing very many of the steps he described (such as fiddling with the connections that troubled you). What he has is a carefully cut piece of video editing. He left out the parts where one of the screws fell into the fan, where he tried to force one of the plugs onto the wrong connector, etc. You did better than you think.

This is probably where our preference for hands-on learning comes from.
