First, I appreciate the help last night.
Second, I suggest some information, possibly on the SAC web site, for
those wishing to use a digital projector for a presentation. There
are many ways to setup a presentation and as demonstrated last night,
some are certainly better than others.
What I would like to know is will the projector work with Mac
laptops? My PowerBook has a monitor plug similar to the Dell laptop
so I assume it should. What is the best way to provide images for
display. I had assumed .jpeg and .gif formats, but as seen last
night, they in themselves can cause problems. Perhaps developing a
PowerPoint program with the images imbedded would work better. But
what should people do who do not have Power Point?
What I would like to see are suggestions to provide an efficient
presentation. This should reduce the hassle and time required
fumbling around as I did.
Thanks.
Jeff
