I think it is the "New Features and Functionality in IDL 8.0"
webinar on this page:

Isn't this the old company with a new name? Don't know. They
come and go so fast. My sister has trained me not to waste
time remembering boyfriends names. It will be a new one the
next time I see her, anyway! :-)
Cheers,

Was the list and hash webinar recorded?
I'm also stunned that IDL now has yet another parent company.

Are you saying lists and hashes aren't awesome? Oh, wait.
That was the first webinar they did. Well, I guess you've
got to go with what you've got. :-(

So I'm confused. Isn't the time to do a PR campaign, including
webinars, when your product is awesome?

My favorite part of the seminar, which got a big laugh
from me, was when Mark expertly explained away the long
delay in a map projection plot coming up by blaming it
on the webinar projection software! ;-)
I'm still laughing. Although, I'm certain that was the right
explanation!
Cheers,
