Yep, Thanks guys. All I did was pull out the HD and away she went...

Not sure how impressed I was with the demo though....
I mean, it was big and impressive and all with the animation and stuff but
really there was'nt much in it
    . Showed Steves face and then then made him talk. Good.
	. Had a drumroll, with the hand and stuff. Very Good.
	. Started fliping scenes. Really Neat.
	. Did all that over and over again. Eh.

Maybe a couple more bits and pieces would have been nice. I dont mean to
be cruel, but I think for the effort that went into it (Which I can see there
was) a few more extras would not have gone astray.
Overall I give it a 6.5-7/10. Not bad.

I have a few words about InnerVisions too, but I'll leave that for later...

Yow,
