Last night Charlie, N3PPC, and I gave a presentation and demonstration =
to 20+ people at the Seminole County EOC complex.  We used an MS Power =
Point presentation on one large screen and the laptop screen with =
WinPack on the other.  The facility has two huge screens and a bazillion =
21-in TV screens all around the room.

The presentation was well accepted, though I can't be assured it really =
turned anyone on- that said, the chief County guy there sat with his =
laptop and wireless LAN and downloaded WinPack 6.8 and AGWPE stuff while =
we were talking!  I believe he might be one that will do some initial =
work for us to see if sound card packet will work for us.=20

We very successfully demonstrated navigating the packet network from the =
Orlando FPAC switch clear through to the WX4J BBS in Switzerland (FL!) =
just south of Jacksonville.  We demonstrated quick connects on FPAC and =
script connects in WinPack.

With a 24/7 backbone between Orlando and Melbourne we could have gone =
all the way to Hollywood (FL!)

Free had sent me the FADCA website to put on my laptop.  I demonstrated =
the interactive map and it was quite impressive. (I did not tell them we =
only had three switches with full information.)

With a little polishing, this Power Point presentation could be used by =
others to introduce the overall concepts.
