It's very difficult for me to attend meetings in the evening given that it's 
my duty to compensate for the general lack of desire and ability in some 
members of my family to perform evening routines.  Now if there were a 
demonstration of something like Broadcast 2000 I might be able to fabricate 
an excuse to escape my duties and attend.

This puppy smells like its got a consulting contract in it somewhere too.  
Skills with a Linux-based industry-quality video editing tool have got to be 
marketable IMO.  If the aformentioned demonstration was taken around to all 
the production facilities (ads, features, films, etc.) in NC and SC perhaps 
some remunerative arrangements would come as a result (training, production 
setup, production consulting).  I had one contact in the video ad business, 
but he moved to Dallas at the first wiff of economic trouble in the Triangle 
(whimp).
