Last couple weeks we’ve been working on a new YouTube channel with online software tutorials. Should be really helpful for new users. A great compliment to the new Help System (which so far is getting rave reviews).
Six tutorials posted so far…mostly high-level stuff for now…

YouTube is fun…feeling like a movie star!

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been 9 months.
Lots of work but the improvements in this summer’s release, especially the many “ease-of-use” features, along with the new Help System, will definitely help new users get up and running with the system fast. A definite prerequisite for this Free endeavour.
Next step is infrastructure to support mass-distribution of Free version (downloads, automatic updates, etc.).
Very exciting!
I got a kick out of McDonald’s free coffee promotion today. It’s amazing how much free stuff that I’m noticing now that we’re working on this project.
A few weeks in and it’s starting to come together.
We’ve got the to-do lists together for what needs to change in the software, what will be needed for the support infrastructure and we’ve roughed in the marketing. Content for new on-line help system also coming along nicely.
Biggest effort will be the software changes…it’s got to be much easier than in the old days when we could count on end-user training.
Next meeting is to axe what we can live without and pick a launch date.
Very exciting!
Just setting up the Blog for the new project. No one’s listening yet.
