Good idea. Okay, what I'll do is when there's about a CD full - enough to make it worthwhile - and enough to have a range of newbie topics covered - I'll make an ISO that has them all on. I can also put an autostarting page on it to show how to play them under Windows and/or Linux. It's unlikely to be any time before christmas at this rate. I reckon I can churn out about one a night if they are fairly short and are easy for me to do. > A how-to video/s such as these will jump start more than a newbies > knowledge.

Cool, don't forget to make suggestions as to what you think should go in them. I'm basically working through my own list, but if anyone suggests *simple* topics for recording I'll consider it.
