Ha. I did once, I try to block it from my mind. Bad, bad memories and all.

I have bad memories too. The worst 5 years of my working life.
I was held hostage by need for health insurance.

Oh, another quick note, Adobe does offer a 30 day trial on After Effects, so you can see if it's your cup of tea before plopping down a few hundred cool ones.

AE (like most (or all?) Adobe products) is not available for purchase as a stand-alone license anymore. You can only get it packaged in a bundle with other products for a monthly fee. Pro: lower initial outlay. Con: possibly higher long term costs. They do still have the 30-day trial though.

Didn't know that. That sucks.

Yeah, I agree. But there are many who prefer it.

Just to clarify a bit...
After Effects : Premiere Pro :: compiler : linker
AE and PP are different tools in the video editing tool chain. Although, unlike the compiler/linker comparison, they do have some overlap and, for some scenarios, can be used interchangeably.

My recommendations:
RODE PodCaster microphone with the shock mount
Latest version of Camtasia
Change your screen resolution to 1024 x 768 and record full screen at that size

Well, I don't have that mic (but I do have a real mic now rather than using the one on the USB camera!) and I'll see how the next video comes out at that screen res. Thanks very much much the suggestions!

Nice video, congrats!
Probably you could improve a little the audio quality by using audacity[^]...
