I think if we could create a > flexible and in-depth presentation to use with such gatherings, it would generate a lot of interest. If anyone has down loadable stuff in eg format OK with /usr/ports/misc/magicpoint I'd grab it & use it. As I'm British & in Germany, & businesmen aren't techies fluent in English, it'd be enough work doing the verbal in German, & maybe translating slides, without actually mastering the presentation too, so I dont want to master something. (& we only need one person or team to master, & it should be listed on a central index of advocacy resources etc) PS Re. Powerpoint. I wouldn't risk doing the main presentation in that. I would be prepared to do a short extra demo presentation under emulation though, if viable, As suits would also be interested in ease of use of other MS similar/compat. format & tools etc, such as PP (Yawn!). - Julian Stacey Net & Sys Eng Consultant, Munich http://berklix.com Mail in Ascii (Html=Spam).
