Stew,

I gave a lecture last week and had a great SanDisk moment. I did the entire PowerPoint slide show from a CompactFlash card including graphics. I created the presentation on my PC and then just copied it to the card. The day of the lecture I showed up with a PCMCIA adapter and the CF card. The lecture hall was equipped with a laptop. All it took was a few seconds to insert the CF card (recognized as a "SunDisk" ATA memory card) and a few clicks. I felt very liberated and never travelled so light before. The file was way too big to fit on a floppy and I didn't want to chance it by bringing a Zip disk just to find out there was no Zip bay.

CompactFlash is a great solution in this instance. It has always ticked me off at national conventions that each speaker has to bring their own laptop to the podium. So much time is wasted switching all the connections, rebooting when necessary,...

Now all we need is a CF slot in each of those LCD projectors and the capability to read *.ppt files.
