Amiko on Nasa was: Fw: [libreoffice-users] Re: Pdf import. Was: Fw: Wiki quick guide page - see if this is a good format. . .

Hi :)
Errr, Amiko is well worth watching btw.  It's rare to see an interviewer that manages to get people 
talking rather than kinda taking over and doing most of the talking themselves.  She makes it much 
easier to understand what is going on by avoiding technical terms and encourages interviewees to 
keep-it-simple too by giving them a clue as to what level of understanding to pitch the interview 
at.  If you listen to her voice on the "What is happening on the space station today" she clearly 
does know the technical words so it's even more interesting to see her dodge them when 
interviewing.  When i first started watching i assumed she was hopeless until i realised what she 
was achieving, getting people to relax and opening up with interesting answers.  Brandi is pretty 
good too but has a completely different approach.  

Regards from
Tom :)
