Me too ditto. Was it meant to get people interested in APRS or in fancy graphics
and music. Didn't find it too informative. I'm trying real hard not to come off
too critical....20 years of producing TV commercials can do that to you. :-) I'm
so critical when it comes to video that I didn't like about 99% of everything I
ever produced.

Ditto...hate to say it but reminds me of video I see young producers do. They
though in the kitchen sink just because they can, not because it works or adds
to the content. The 3D Letter Graphics were great just miss placed and too many
of them. Wish I had felt like I learned something when I got done rather than
just be entertained. I think that goes back to the question of "who was it's
intended audience?".

Again sorry if I'm too critical just my opinion. I'm 100% sure I'd have at least
one person disagree with me 100%. That's why we don't all have the same tastes.
