And it never hurts to have someone on hand who is experienced in
these things. ; )
Case in point - when I was invited to do a PPT on native orchid
conservation at a distant conference recently, I had put everything
on my laptop, plus a cd, plus a flash drive. Saved as Power Point
Show, and a few other formats. When we tried to hook everything up,
*nothing* was recognized, much less worked - something about Mac/PC
compatibility on their dedicated system, even with saving as PPS.
Fortunately there was someone on hand who was able to fix it and the
presentation went on as planned. My 40-minute presentation was after
the lunch hour, so I was VERY glad I decided to check it out on their
equipment just in case of this possibility.
