Scott – this is a proof of concept video of a few of the slides in the Aton presentation we will not do this year – I shortened it up as I am working on a few other ideas and 40++ slides were not needed – the target was for one slide of each type – sorry about the whiny voice – forgot to shift into my famous DJ mode – did not practice the presentation either – this is the first time through out loud so there are a few bumps in things – and the microphone I have is a real econo buy – guess I need to figure out what to do with the presentation – don’t worry the 100 man hours will not be wasted.
