Note: Below is a polished version of my notes, written after reading each day’s articles. I felt the need to refine them, as the original notes would otherwise not have conveyed much value. Most of the articles—and their examples—were tested where the author provided the opportunity to do so, or where I had the necessary hardware available. The Technical Weight should be considered a rough personal estimate; as always, this is largely subjective and depends on the perspective of the reader. Hansi (Hakko)

I can be completely wrong - i suppose - but this was my findings.
