Main Logic Board [2nd time]
Display Bezel
Connector (Battery)

Top Case (Enclosure)

With a growing budget deficit, there’s not much appetite in Washington to increase NASA’s funding. So some of what the agency does now, such as shipping cargo to the space station, will almost certainly be picked up by private companies.

Brown’s site was clearly made by someone who just learned JQuery.
Ben - you should check out Elon University in NC! Good...
