I am really sorry if this

I am really sorry if this sounds harsh but this video almost killed me!
I was literally screaming out of frustration because of the slow explanation of everything and the lack of useful information! By the end of it I actually forced myself to watch it, hoping I'd find something useful in it. Well I did not.
I want to comment on this:
"A 19 min video about installing Acquia Drupal and learning how the Acquia Network works and what the differences are from a standard Drupal 6 install."
1. So installing Acquia Drupal is mainly about downloading CVS files and.. what? Nothing more? I actually know how everything should go but I have no idea how a person new to Drupal would install it!
2. So how does the Acquia Network work? What I found out was that you have no idea how everything works! "I dont actually know.... err.. I'm assuming..err.." For God's sake! You just registered and showed the viewers five ticks on the website !
3. About the difference between a standard install and the Acquia Drupal you could have just pointed out that there are a few modules about imaging, files and stuff.. Nobody wants to listen about your (and I quote you) "geek" approaches! You're presenting differences, not methods !

I just found out about this website (acquia.com) and wanted to know what the network actually does. After 19 minutes of my life wasted I'm actually scared to keep looking for that info because I might find another explanation like this.

The only reason I signed up was to post this comment !!!
