I have to say it's a very nice lab already, I'm looking forward to seeing more chapters.
One strange thing I noticed is, that when that specific lab is executed, whenever the mouse is moved over either the dissect window or the plot window, every movement makes a newline appear in the terminal window. This has as consequence that you really quickly loose all context of the lab... I don't know whether this happens on all platforms, I'm running j804-64 bit on Windows8, 64bit.
