    3. Hey Liz, :) I just received my video and I am enjoying it very much. (You look great by the way, don't look to nervous, a little but not as much as I would have looked...frozen :) ). At the expense of getting emails on how low of an IQ I must have, I do have one critique? (I know, I know, everyone's a critic ) ;-) I remember when I was so green at doing genealogy or having no interest in learning out to do any kind of papers or reports that meant I have to cite sources, therefore, when I got out of school, that all went out of my head. Now I find that I need to do that stuff and I'm at a disadvantage even with your video. The only thing I find that could be better is if, instead of using what you *already* have in your database, if you were to start out as if you were one of us (someone that has nothing in their database). Actually take us through the steps of inputting information. While I have figured out what you meant on the way to enter this information I think there might be some people out there better served if they could actually see a document entered. Now don't get me wrong. I don't mean to have you set there and actually enter all that info at the time of taping. You could have it so that it is edited in...say...open your very first document and show the empty screen...enter the name and then edit in a shot that shows all the rest of the information there. Then go to the next step and do the same thing. I don't mean to be a pain in the *insert bad word here* but I just wanted to let you know there were a couple of spots I had to stop and review a couple of times so that I could figure out what you meant because you would go "....but I'm not going to do this because I already have it there" or "I'm not going to do this because it's already done in my database." and then you back out. Being as stupid as I am it took me a minute to figure out what a "Repository" was. I hope I'm offering constructive criticism here. I just wanted to remind everyone that there are those of us that, while some of this is so simple and basic to some, they are a foreign language to others, and probably to those very people who are buying the video for more visual help.
