    Too bad the video is in Flash, something that even Android is leavlng behind in August. Flash leaves out those on iPhones and iPads. Get with the program and use a universal platform like youTube, not only is the video searchable, but it works everywhere.

      Hi Jay, good point – thanks for the heads-up. I replaced the flash video with a youtube version that should be viewable across all platforms far and wide.
