Hi Arthur,

Eev is indeed "conceptually big" (unfortunately), but AFAIK it is
compatible with everything else, it is easy to test "in small pieces",
it is easy to turn on and off, it is very hacker-friendly in all
senses, it is, or tries, to be very friendly to people with short
attention spans who will play with it at most 10 minutes per session,
and - ta-daaaa! - now it has very, very, very nice video links in its
tutorials!!! See:

If anything in the sales pitch above turns out to be false please tell
me - I'll fix it and you'll also get twice your money back! =P

  Cheers =),
