I have a sony mvc-73 which is so-so. It's good enough for the web, but
no better. The built-in floppy disk is *insanely* nice, making for
unlimited virtually free "film". It's nice to be able to take a few
photos for someone, hand them the disk and walk away.

And of course, any machine that can read a dos floppy can get the images,
which is very nice if you have exotic gear.

You don't have to grep the output of ps, sh substitutes the pid
of the last async job for "$!".

ie:

./bin/wireclient localhost $1 \
./milan_configs/star.conf &
sleep 1
# save pid of star
starpid=$!

[...]

# kill star
kill -TERM $starpid
