The software they are using, "Web Crossing", costs about $1000 (there's
a link to the developer's web-site in the intro/demo).  Surely there is
another package out there, but I'd be willing to kick in $50 for
Gaffaweb to purchase a copy.

PS: Guess what I listed as my favorite URL when I filled out the
