[TriEmbed] Raspberry Pi 2 rocks...

[Kyle Thorson]

Is this new style any better than the original?  Using the ground to
separate the video from the audio.  Just curious.

Also, it seems that some camcorder plugs are also non-standard.  I have
been reading about lots of people finding the the Yellow and Red leads
swapped.
