youll have a fully self contained dob running on its own . who cares if theres only a 3 hr running time. it takes 2 seconds to get it going again

"Creativity is not just an idea that is made, it is not a single person, creativity stems from many people often over many meetings to form a single idea/vision that is of the best possible solution"
