Hal, a friend of mine recently created a great set of online training videos
for a graphics application he designed. I believe he used Camtasia.
Personally I'm a little impatient for videos (as a user). But he kept them

that's used intensively, Matt's suggestion is a good one to consider. I'd be
happy to put you in touch with my friend if you wish. (No relation to the
company or product.) Tim

internal -- a small group of people, but it's an application they'll
use all day long.
