Of course mammal brains have limits, but such limits are always higher than the amount of information shown in normal slides. > I've been in Walter's HTML-based talks.

I haven't appreciated much the html-based presentation, but probably some compromise can be found between that and the standard information-starved slides. One problem with Walter's HTML-based talk was the long searching scroll up and down. You can create separated pages in Html too. (in my presentations I usually use pdf pages with a good amount of stuff. OpenOffice is able to output such PDF files too). Bye, bearophile
