Thanks Dave and Oved, that's exactly my thoughts :-) 
Adding 2 more videos from that series:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jExFWEojF4c
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8qUoRImimY

Quota feature didn't change much since 3.1, only got stable, so no worries about version in the videos.

Andy, if you any questions/suggestions, feel free :-)

Since there are already 3 videos, and the fact we have a new l&f in 3.5, thinking of doing a new series
(following 'Lord of the Rings' and 'The Hobbit' ;-) ).
