Since I had not used the equipment before, I arrive 45 minutes early, but even after the board meeting there was no equipment to set up on yet so I could not test anything. I may be wrong about what Thad is asking, but to me presentations will go much smoother if people know a better way to present things. Again, I think a PowerPoint presentation would have worked much better than trying to show images by themselves.
