Wow. That would be quite nice. There
is a projector of some kind at the St. Pete meeting,
but I'm sure how operational it is. However, Aaron should know.

When I said "Presentation", I didn't expect anything
like that! :)

That's exactly the sort of thing that is needed, that not many people
can do. It is rather hard to explain stuff on a newbie level.

I probably would learn a bit; My idea of using a GUI is using 5-6 rxvt's,
mozilla, xmms, and window maker dock-apps. I don't
even use a file manager anymore...

Is good idea.
