Lets take a vote.
I strongly dislike the scrolling text on the status line, for the same reason Tom does, and because the scrolling is a nasty dis- traction, which keeps tugging at me visually. Examine the web pages on the big screen, ignoring the laptop's screen. Anything you can't read from the big screen needs to be replaced with something you can read with the big screen. Fonts were also clipped because of an incompatible projector and laptop. The principle, however, seems a good one.
