Jeremy said [he didn't see Typemock examples](http://weblogs.asp.net/rosherove/archive/2008/01/20/the-case-for-typemock.aspx#5626802) anywhere, so  [Here's a short 10 minute screencast](http://www.typemock.com/Multimedia.html) I made that shows off some basic features in Typemock, when working with legacy code.

it shows off the two possible syntaxes of working with Typemock: Reflective mocking and "Natural" mocking which is the record replace model you use in Rhino.mocks.  You can see a whole page with [examples over here](http://typemock.com/Docs/HowTo.html).
