Yes, I thought I had made it clear that I won't be needing visual aids. Heck, it should have been clear, even without me saying so, that there was no point in just showing a bunch of text behind me... And I even asked to remove that crap from behind me during the lecture, to no avail... And another small point: when a speaker is limited to 15 minutes and there's a (seemingly "professional") heckler in the crowd, it could help if the other lecturers don't take up valuable minutes by starting an irrelevenat discussions and "feeding the trolls", as it were. But other than that, I think the day went verry well. I'm sure that everyone that was present now knows what Linux is. Even I was surprised at how polished recent Linux distributions have become (I'm not looking for polish myself, but many beginners do). P.S. One thing that we did not say (I wanted to talk about it but did not have enough time...) was about the "logistics" of getting Linux, about the fact that there are "distributions", their names and what they come with. I think that many people were able to read this between the lines (and from discussions that went on after lectures), but I think some didn't understand. This will probably be fixed in the installation lecture, I guess, but as you said once - the attendance is unfortunately likely to drop from lecture to lecture. -- Nadav Har'El | Sunday, Nov 3 2002, 28 Heshvan 5763 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |Only dead fish go with the flow. http://nadav.harel.org.il | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haifa Linux Club Mailing List (http://www.haifux.org) To unsub send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
