Hi Eric,
I think you have expressed my feelings at this time also... I was just thinking in the last couple of days that I would like to see the POD tutorial updated to the latest Hobo version. It is more real world & while the Agility tutorial is good, some of the concepts are a bit theory/proof of concept rather than practical & I think the POD would be a much better example. Looks forward to others comments...
