	I have to run, but... I've just gotten around to reading this and it seems pretty good (better than the help manual so I can't complain). I have seen a few grammar mistakes and typos which I will toss back at you when I'm back in the office next week.

	I was sufficiently inspired to create a few basic video tutorials: Aurora Tutorial Part 1 - Creating a Sequence Aurora Tutorial Part 2 - Importing, Using the Visualizer, Outputting to the Controllers Aurora Tutorial Part 3 - Borealis I also have two tutorials on how to program for firefly. Feel free to have a gander at those: Firefly Tutorial Part 1 - The Basics Firefly Tutorial Part 2: Splitting Cells and Paste Options I hope these videos help! EDIT: Even viewed in High Quality mode, there was still substantial loss of clarity. I have therefore uploaded all of the tutorials to my Vimeo channel: http://www.vimeo.com/jonathand1027 The conversion seems to have gone better on Vimeo, so be sure to check them out therer Edited by Jonathan - 19 Jun 2009 at 1:55pm

	Yep, I think so. I posted a link over on D-Light's forum, but I'm not a member of nor do I follow the Planet Christmas forum. So if anyone wants to drop the links there, feel free.

	LC, I dont have any trouble with you guys using it. Thats why I put it together. If you want, I can throw together a Cover Page with our names on it. I'll just email it to you once I get Jonathan's last name.
