If you liked the cool Obsydian marketing video, you can get for a limited time it at ftp://ftp.synon.com/pub/video/. Warning the AVI (iuc98.avi) is bigggggggggg! (150Mb) and you need to have the correct compression installed (iv5play.exe). If you can live with the same video in Real Network format, then download the iuc98.rm.

Presentations by Synon Developers will be posted here soon, watch this space!
