[FPSPACE] Powerpoint & history

[DSFPortree at aol.com]

In other words - if you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with 
BS? :-) I was thinking more in terms of offering Vugraphs instead of more 
substantial documents, however, especially when the more substantial documents 
might raise new questions that might be hard to answer.

Lately I've insisted on doing my presentations using Vugraphs. After all, I 
mostly do history talks, I might as well use an historic medium, right? Like 
those living history museums. You should see how proud some people become when 
they manage to find an overhead projector for me. And the audience likes it - 
I've had folks come up after my talks to tell me how fun it was to see Vugraph 
transparencies again. (Hopefully that wasn't the best part of the talk for 
them.)
