Yep! That's exactly what I was thinking! If it hadn't been for the ease of
doing that kind of unintimidating, unassuming introduction to using HC, I
bet half this group here wouldn't exist.

The only caveat would be to make sure people advancing to deeper levels
would need to invest in Rev further, so that they can be properly tutored
into using professional scripting methods and produce quality work if
intended for the marketplace.
