I have found "Jing" http://www.jingproject.com/ extremely simple to use to create a visual explanation of a computer topic.

Perhaps you would too? I'd like to see a narrated movie :)

Ah, in my copious free time, Thorbjorn. Actually, yesterday I presented a day-long seminar on EGL to a group of IBM i developers, and their jaws simply dropped. If you take the time to actually understand the technology, it really is amazing. The key is metadata - metadata lets you define a structure once and then use it over and over. You can drop it on a browser page, and it paints the page. Call an RPG program, it converts to an EBCDIC data structure. Expose it as a service, and it formats XML or JSON.

So I'll try to put together a simple video, as soon as I take care of some other obligations.
