I should have done that yesterday, but with the holiday falling on a Sunday, everyone is celebrating Canada’s 140th birthday today.

Anyway, the real point of this post is to ask for suggestions for Horizon. It really seems that once you ‘get’ Horizon you really get Horizon, and realize the power, depth, and potential of the program. The problem is the ‘barrier to entry’. Some people download the program, install the app, and double-click on it. They haven’t watched the screencasts, and they haven’t looked at the help. So they’ve got a blank calendar staring at them, and they don’t know where to start.

So, what can I do to lower the ‘barrier to entry’? I’m really looking for suggestions here. If you’re a current Horizon user, can you tell me how you got started? If you downloaded it and gave up on it, can you tell me what would make things easier for you?

Would the old Microsoft/Adobe ‘Tip of the Day’ window at start-up help? Would a starter document be useful? Is there any way I can build in a tutorial? Please let me know what you think is missing.
