Smile!! Would that it always happens the way you describe. The words I
hate to hear are, "Oh, he's bringing his own. He'll have it on a disc (on
his laptop, etc)". Or, the speaker will use the PPT he always uses for
these presentations. I can assure you that no matter how blue the blue chip
company there will be speakers that 'like to roll their own', often on a
schedule that precludes intervention by a qualified PPT designer.
