It was kinda like stuffing the wrong card in a computer, when you're
stickin' those artificial stimulants in your arm.
		-- Dion, noted computer scientist

Dear Sir,

I am a computer engineering student from Bangalore,
India, and have done a presentation on Linux operating
system. Since the syllabus explicitly states the use of
MS PowerPoint, I had no other choice.

The presentation consists of 30 slides discussing the
history, technical features, myths, issues, conclusion,
and further resources on Linux. It also has 'sidewalks'
discussing some statistics, commands, my Linux desktop,
vs Windows NT, popular applications for Linux, and ten
good reasons to use Linux.

Can I contribute this show to your project? Not that it
helps a lot for the professional, but a layman stuck
with Windows can use it to gain an insight into the
wonderful Linux operating system.

If you are interested, Sir, you can download the
presentation in compressed .zip form from my home page.
The direct link is:
http://www.geocities.com/netmaniac00/linppt.zip
(618 KB, about 3 minutes to download)

Thanking you, and hope this has not been spam,

Yours faithfully,
Deepak.

Okay, so we can at least take a look at it. Thanks,

Sure. If it's a lot easier and quicker to do screenshots, that might
be good, so we can decide whether the effort of conversion is merited.

Real programmers don't write in BASIC.  Actually, no programmers write in
BASIC after reaching puberty.

He could convert it to StarOffice presentation format.
