Usability matters?
As I'm looking at solutions that will make personal video publishing easy enough to do (while still maintaining a job and a life!), I was amused by this tidbit in Halley's Comment that refers to a tagline in a John Perry Barlow email..."I have always wished that my
computer would be as easy to use as my
telephone. My wish has come true. I no longer know how to use my
telephone."

Great find Larry. I might have to use it on the usability section of my site, if you don't mind.
