Bernie,
I can't do much for you in the way of hardware, but I've recently run
across one of the slickest multi-media documentation tools I've ever
seen. It's called GUIDE Passport(tm) produced by InfoAccess, Inc. I got
a free demo disk (offered to STC members, but if you're not and talk
real nice, I think you can get one from them [8->) by calling them at
1-800-344-9737. It is NOT inexpensive, but look at it and see how you
like it. The demo will knock your socks off!! It is something else.
Happy hunting --
