Glad you're excited about it. I agree it could be a valuable tool.

Don't worry, Eric is a very talented producer.  To give you a sense of what
he can do, here is another piece he did for an event at UofT on Internet
security (you'll see some familiar faces):

Granted he did this with, IIRC, 3-4x our budget. But Eric really likes
NCUC, and is willing to go the extra mile for us...

>>
>>  KEEP IN MIND :

>>
>>  - One of Milton's clips was used twice.  We'll choose which works best.
