Jay's Power Point presentation on a 1982 //e.

[obsbedia2@aol.com (Obsbedia2)]

Hi All,

	The PowerPoint presentation was a blast.  There's nothing I like more than the
sound of a room full a people sucking air in surprise--"Ahhh!"  The instructor
really wanted to see what I had done on an 128K, twenty-year-old, 1982 Apple
][e and kept pushing my presentation to the front, while others pushed their
own PowerPoints forward to "get it over with."  After half a dozen slide show
presentations, I booted a text-based launcher and then Tutor-Tech (insert sound
of excessive air intake here) 2.7 with Hybrid Flags and stacks making up a
computer program.  (Mind you, it didn't hurt that I ran it on an FOCUS IDE hard
drive-on-a-card and a 7x TransWarp II card to boot, but presentations always
run slower when you're up there, so I felt it justified.)  The stacks could run
much faster off a RAM card, but I didn't want to risk a crash, this being the
first Apple II demonstration in the district for quite some time.  The
presentation was flawless.

	My favorite comments from the presentation were:

1.	How did you get PowerPoint to run on an Apple II?

2.	We should tell people at our site what these computers can do.  We were
planning on getting rid of a bunch of them.

3. Well, this is an advanced feature of PowerPoint and if you take the advanced
class you'll learn how to do it.

4. Well, that's another advanced feature of PowerPoint and if you take the
advanced class you'll learn how to do it.

5.  Will you show us how to do that with PowerPoint?
	Uh, no, PowerPoint can't do that. 

6.	(More air sucking into lungs!)

7.  Well, I still wouldn't trade PowerPoint for it.  (Yeah, but you had to have
considered it to make that statement, didn't you?!!)

	I had the typical teacher ailments the week of the presentation, so I still
want to tweak it a bit before I release it to the Apple II Community, but it's
coming.  One section is still in the development phase, but it'll be worth the
wait.
