[NLRS] Aurora 2003 Presenters

[John P. Toscano]

Attention, all presenters who have agreed to speak at Aurora 2003!

1) I will bring a laptop and an LCD projector, like last year, in case 
you wish to use them for your presentation.

2) You are also welcome to bring your own laptop with your presentation 
loaded onto it, if you wish, and plug it into the LCD projector.  In 
this case, your laptop may not project well (or at all) if the screen 
resolution is higher than 1024x768 pixels.  My projector's "native" 
resolution is 800x600, but it will adjust itself to many different 
settings between 320x200 and 1024x768.

3) If the screen resolution is likely to be an issue, we could run your 
presentation on my laptop, if the presentation is PowerPoint or 
something else that I am likely to have available on my laptop, and if I 
can get the presentation off of your machine onto mine.  I will bring a 
10/100BaseT Ethernet card and a crossover cable, which would allow me to 
connect to your machine if you have an Ethetnet card in yours.  (I don't 
have a spare 10/100BaseT card to bring along.)  I will also bring an 
801.11b wireless Ethernet card, and a matching wireless Ethernet USB 
device.  If your laptop has USB, then we can move files or run your 
files remotely in "ad hoc" mode.  I will also bring a USB Zip100 drive 
and some extra disks, so we could move your files that way if they will 
fit on a 100 Mb disk.  And, of course, my laptop has a DVD-ROM drive, so 
I can read CD-R, CD-R/W and DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, and DVD+RW discs.  
And, of course, there is the good old-fashioned 1.44 Mb floppy diskette, 
which seems to be disappering from some newer laptops.  Mine is old 
enough that it has a floppy drive, in fact it has a LS-120 SuperDisk 
drive, which reads/writes/formats both the 1.44 Mb diskettes and the 120 
Mb Super Disks.

4) I would greatly appreciate it if I can grab your presentation files 
in any case, to post on the NLRS web site (with your permission, of 
course!), after Aurora 2003 is over.

5) By the way, if you presented in 2002, and I never got copies of your 
materials for the web site, I would still love to get them from you and 
post them for all to see.
