@Sam Slides 1 is splendid for this job, well done.

I had a first run, which produced this: http://is.gd/0kbeMZ
It is unfinished of course, but this number of slides seemed to crash
3GB of RAM, and the images seem to prevent saving to Journal in SoaS. I
will report when I understand why!

I will re-work it, and probably shorten it. Next time I will deliver
commands straight from the Slide presentation.

Any other feedback welcome!

A script.py to identify and unmount the USB stick and create the
appropriate command, could be a first step. I wonder if the script could
then be delivered by this sort of presentation?

:"-) (Suits all) as in, meets a reasonably high proportion of use cases.
