Nice video, took me back to my mainframe operator days. When I make a video
I try to adhere to three rules that greatly increase the quality and
effectiveness:
1. Use a tripod - I use a couple of cell phone cameras and have tripods to
hold them steady and keep them on-shot
2. Make sure you have adequate lighting - nothing worse than "here is this
and that", but we just see black
3. Have a script - I write down what I want to show, sequence, and block
and time the shots. For example, when something appears on the screen I
make sure it stays in a shot long enough for the viewer to read.

Yeah, the fellow in the video shows that; it
looks like the system is
totally dependent on the OS/2 based front-end processor. I wonder if he
is
a list member? Maybe he can help out if you are
missing software; I don't
know if you have ever seen the videos on Youtube; they are pretty easy to
find.
Best,
Sean
