I'll defer to someone else for that exact question... but the slides shown are rather often not the same as those submitted. >> 2.

The advantage I was thinking of is that it becomes instantly obvious when the slide being shown isn't the next one in the submitted set. Just knowing it isn't what I'm looking at is a major improvement. (There's also the advantage of knowing, instead of guessing, when the slide changes.) I'd be delighted to see the actual pixels coming out of the projector.
