This may be somewhat of a repeat of my earlier comments, but I think they are worth saying again.
I still think a "Hands On Tutorial" something similar to the "Video Professor" product would be one of the best investments Alpha could make for people to try A5.
According to the commercials I have seen on TV, you would simply install and launch A5. Then you would put the tutorial CD in the computer and follow the on screen instructions. It would show people how to make a DBF in A5...how to build and index....etc...etc. and ALL ON SCREEN. You can rewind and play as many times as required. The benefit here is you can learn each phase before going on to the next.
It's all done "on screen and hands on" instead of having to slog through the high tech typed documentation that comes with A5. I think alot of people just need to be shown the basics.
I think the on screen tutorial is a great idea. I would pay extra for a product like this. Maybe then more A4 users would at least try the A5 product.
Let's face it. I have purchased A5....Alot of other A4 users have purchased A5 and we don't have the time for a learning curve. Most consider A5 as a very costly small frisby.
With this on screen tutorial, learning the basics could be done in an afternoon. The CD could even be broken into 2 parts. 1) Show basics for new users. 2) more detailed stuff to learn later.
Which would be more expensive, upgrading A4 to a Windoz A4, or creating this tutorial CD?
If you don't want to make the Tutorial CD, we are waiting for our Windoz A4
