Very interesting use of what blender has to offer.

Maybe it is just because I had a long day in front of the monitor ...
It would be so much easier on the eye to have a varibale width font for 
text like that. And zoom working on text would be terrific for people 
like me with not that good eyesight.

How about offering tutorials like that as one option of startup/welcome 
window. Would be otherwise rather pointless to have something for the total 
newbie, but he has first to find out how to access it.
