I have been speaking with John throughout the day today and checking out all 
of the Videos. I think his idea and conception here is awesome. In fact, the 
information that can be attained by his concept and by community 
users/members creating their own videos and submitting them could also be 
great for a marketing campaign as well. I know he has already submitted his 
site and info on that list. He has actually caused me to play around with 
some screencasting, and I may go pick up a video to do some "Video Reviews". 
Anyone familiar with Rodney, aka 3d Game Man? Google him for excellent 
hardware reviews, and a good laugh at times.
