Well, I just received my official 1.0.1 OpenWindows package. It comes with a video tape! The video tape is geared for a system manager who has difficulty reading. Close up's of someone setting environment variables, typing "y", etc. I think Sun should have included a 5 or 10 minute example of using OpenWindows. Show the people what it looks like in action - so that they will have an interest in learning more about it. If I had a video tape that gave end users an introduction to USING OpenWindows, I would have something exciting. But the tape I got from Sun is just not worth passing on to another person, unless they want a chuckle. Anyhow - the Video mentions a program called "tutorial". You execute this program, and it teaches you everything you need to know. The Video also comes with several stickers, etc. that say the "tutorial" program in not included in OpenWindows 1.0.1 Using my great deductive powers, i predict that OpenWindows 2.0 will include this on line tutorial system. :-) -- Bruce G.
