Hi Pierre,

Thanks for the generous offer. As you know, I was a huge Ecco fan, and if I could bring it back to life easily, I probably would have, although I have been away from it now for a few years and have probably changed my work habits to suit the current environment at work and on the web. I really need to sit down when I am not under an overly heavy load to see if I can find some of that old Ecco love in IQ. I have probably had a new machine or two since I last tried the portable version of IQ at work, and again, could test it out when I am not backlogged. They are, however, quite particular about any software as we are tied into the city’s network and security is a big issue for municipalities. For example, even though we are a MS shop, there are MS products that we are not allowed to use, like MS Teams. So, one starts to adopt the mindset of if all you have is a hammer, then everything starts to look like nails. That is one reason that web-based and portable applications have great appeal to me. Are there any good tutorial or introductory videos for IQ that I could watch during my bus commute?
