Thanks, Phil...
Also lots left out, of course... I'm still listing things
I "wish I had said."
I don't have the ability to create a PDF. At least, if I do,
I'm not aware of it. :)
The slides were created with good old-fashioned (ack)
Powerpoint.
The HTML was created with a little tool I wrote... it's
fairly trivial, but I've thought of releasing it once it's
enhanced a little and the code is cleaned. (I don't like
the HTML that you get when you export from Powerpoint.)
Cheers,
Hal
