Suddenly I understood why others were having such problems. I already had a kit together of extra laser pointers, extension cords, extra copies of the speaking points, bulbs for the projector, overheads made from the Powerpoint slides in case the computer or projector died. I thought I had everything covered. I've never been unable to read the materials I took to the podium with me. Now, the Mini-Mag goes in that kit too.
Experience helps prevent mistakes.
By making mistakes. Its one thing to disappoint others, another to know you could have done better. There's always the next one. I'm still here. DNS is back up.
