Good attitude. :)
We should record these too (RecordMyDesktop and/or web cam?). It turns out that the
Elluminate recordings that morazi does for our sprint reviews, aren't allowed to be
made public. (according to the license agreement)
Yeah this is a good idea. We
could do with recording sound too, we
could use RecordMyDesktop and Audacity? Anyone else know of any tools
that do both?
Regards and best wishes,
