Remember, these videos were created 20 years ago when Version 5 of TMG was the current version. While he basics are still covered, they do not cover changes or improvements that have been added to TMG 6 through TMG 9.05. In addition, these videos were converted from VHS tapes and/or DVDs so while the videos display is OK; they are not HD quality. The resolution is about 720 X 576, so you may find that the text in some of the screen shots is difficult to read.
