Dale, I think the premise of the argument I am to make is to create a lively "debate" type of atmosphere. Think about it, if I get up and do a boring (or semi lively even) presentation on the pros/cons of Wireless, and do a good job at it, is it really going to be that exciting! I would have to have the presentation skills of Laura Chappell to pull that off :) BUT if I make an insane argument (and the more I delve into it the more insane it seems) it will garner lively discussion and possibly a better learning atmosphere. At least this is what I hope. Everyone, Thank you for responding to this question, I will let everyone know how I did, the presentation is next Thursday.
