Hi

Please post the PP slides (if that is ok) as soon as possible. I am
giving a simlar talk (am going to post a few questions on it in a
different thread) to Computer Science students at University of
Reykjavík, at the end of this month.
If someone can make my job asier, and doesn't mind doing so, I always
apprecaite that *grin*.
I believe, even with a text transcript, there may be photos and other
visual info that is very useful for the students but not necessarily
easy to transcribe. As long as the bullet points/text convey the
meaning well, that s no problem.
PP is also fairly accessible with the major screen readers.
Thanks
