The problem is, we seem to have a variety of projectors. Rik now has one (which was used last night), but it seems that even that doesn't guarantee success :-)
If we can assume Rik will continue to make the projector available, your suggestion is sound, although speakers may rebel against having to use a particular format. And frankly, if we are all too lame to get a data projector going at 1024x768 [1], we aren't much of an advertisement for geekdom are we :-) [1] one assumes that Rik has checked that the projector works at that resolution ;-) On Thu, 02 Dec 2004 12:53:10 +1300 Ross Drummond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I want to endorse Jim's comments about the computer <-> projector > compatibility issue. > > I would recommend someone who; > > o Attends meetings regularly, > o Has a lap top computer, and > o Does not mind putting in the effort involved to get things sweet. > > sets up a their laptop as a known good driver of the projector. > > I also suggest that where a presentation is to be given the speaker be > encouraged to use Open Office Impress and email the presentation before hand. > > These suggestions, if followed, will enable speakers to just start up and go. > > Cheers Ross Drummond > > On Thu, 02 Dec 2004 11:34, Jim Cheetham wrote: > > > Technical suggestion - can we sort out a couple of people's machines > > that work well with the projector, and try to have them available at > > meetings?
