	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.

This shortcoming of the video tape is well known at Sun.  If a subsequent
release of OpenWindows contains a video tape, the orientation will
be much more along the lines that you are looking for.

	But the tape I got from Sun is just not worth passing on to another
	person, unless they want a chuckle.

I'll give away the video's BIG GAG line right now.  As the folks on the video
are trying to figure out where to install the tape they say, "There is no
place like /home/openwin".
