Hey, thanks Del! I had a blast. I was serious when I said giving talks
to amateurs is my favorite. I don't need to explain jokes. :-)

The trouble was with the software. Even the A/V controller couldn't
get it working, and had to exit and restart PPT to get it to work. I
have never seen that particular problem before. Weird.

I'm sure I'll be attending next year, too. I may drive down, so I have
room to bring more stuff home...
