That would be great!  However, what I was really referring to
is a better demo (e.g. video, but perhaps also interactive?)
on the Web that I can point people to.

MarcS's demo above does show CapDesk, but it does so in the
context of the Google talk and perhaps goes into too many
details in some areas and misses some points in others.

What I'd like to have is something like what you (MarkM)
show to people (e.g. at Usenix) video recorded and available
on the Web.  Perhaps something better would be such a
"video" demo followed by the opportunity for people to
take actions themselves (e.g. with some sort of Javascript
simulation or the like), but I'm just looking for something
to get started.

For now I'm using the above Google TechTalk with the
#20m16s mark (should I say Marc? :).  If there's something
better, please point me to it.  I keep using wideword:

https://wideword.net/doc/JB0FrMOKuYmTM%2F3jDMTP0w%3D%3D

as my "you can touch it" capability demo.  Maybe there is
something better for that purpose as well?

Perhaps to counter those who believe there are no working
capability systems around it might be a good idea to get
more such video demos, e.g. of Plash and Polaris as well.
Others?  I'd love to have a whole collection of such demos
that I can point people to who assert that there are no
working capability systems extant.

So...  I guess if I get CapDesk and Plash going on some
systems of mine I can video my own darn demos.  Is that
something I should take on?  My voice may not be the best
to have on such demos.  While I like MarcS' CapDesk demo
above, his voice strikes me as a bit strident in that
presentation.  Might turn some people off?  Better some
light female voice perhaps?  Look how easy this is?
