Eleanor,
I haven't downloaded the presentation myself, so I wasn't aware of this.
His CSUN talk was about a wide variety of disabled people who've found
Second Life worthwhile; I assumed what was on his website would have
been a recording of the Techshare talk rather than just the visual
information.
