Very good idea. I think I'll work on a couple right away;

First video, starting with basic mouse skills, how to move the pointer,
reposition the mouse (lift-move-lower), select (single click), open (double
click), or drag icons around on the desktop, and ending with how to use the
Applications menu.

Second video will probably cover the right-click menus, how to select
multiple icons / blocks of text, and how to cut/copy/paste (for files in
nautilus, and text or images in a document)
