I agree I'll work on that for the next presentation. I'll still have some of the text otherwise I won't have any presentation. ;-) > Scrap the products to just a few on a single slide, and add the rest > in an addendum, where people can browse through. Agreed, some pictures will stay as they were talking points. But I'll either group more stuff together or pull it. I had way too much in that section. > Example: Page 25 and 26 should be a single page with just one > picture. YOU as a presenter talk about the picture. This is a little confusing as the slide # and the number in the name are off by one (grrr). Slide #24: Entertainment/network setup picture Slide #25: X10 related X10 Slide #26: Picture of X10 I take it you want me to merge the two X10 slides, got it and will do. > At least, that is my way of doing presentation for the past 15-20 > years. Very rarely I had people snoring ;-) I blame it on the late hour (9:30 PM), the fact that the air was off, tiny room and really low ceilings (couldn't have been the presenter ;-). > I hope I did not step on anyones toes. Don't worry I ask for comments and your comments clarified the feeling I had during the presentation. One question, how do I use the notes? The one nice thing about my presentation was that when I didn't read from the slides I was very fluid. Sometimes the text made me skip a beat. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry nc...@li... http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies |
