Alfredo informs that he had trouble reading my response. I rearranged it and I
am posting again. I apologize for the duplication, I screwed up (technical
jargon) the first time.

I assume you would have some kind of projection system so that the audience
members don't have to climb over our shoulders to see the displays on our
laptops. The higher the resolution, the better (assuming, of course, that
Denys's laptop can match my PowerBook's external-video resolution :-)
DPB: Since your PowerBook uses the same video subsystem as my Armada, the
DPB: external video will not be an issue. I am currently using 1600X1200 at 32
bit color
DPB: and 75Hz.
A couple of comments regarding Denys's comments:
>... It could be a lot of fun, certainly very different.
Agreed.
>I am thinking of inviting Ron Seybold to be the "judge"
Judge? I thought this was just a friendly "show and tell".
DPB: This is Texas.
Hmmm, I just re-read Denys's message and I ran into this:

Why "VS" instead of "and" or equivalent? Or are you folks going back to
the old gladiator times? It is obvious that Denys would clobber me under
ANY choice of weapons, so that would not be any fun (least of all, for
poor little me :-)
However, if both Denys and I have the opportunity to rhapsodize about our
tools, the audience will LEARN something new, for sure. And that, after
all, is the objective. Unless you want blood, but I don't think so :-)
So, how about "Windows 2000 and MacOS on the Road"? (As a subtitle, you
might want to mention that the respective roadwarriors are Denys and Alfredo).
DPB: Perhaps you might have seen the original "The Road Warrior." Movie with
Mel
DPB: Gibson. Well, we do not want to recreate that, but it will be gory.
There will be
DPB: heavy sarcasm, dry wit and raw humor. As for me, I might even get to say
a few
DPB: things.

Good idea. But, again, you may want to be careful with your phrasing so
that you don't get stabbed to death on HP3000-L. Martyrdom is not in
your best interest, Denys :-)
DPB: No, I have always be more of a prophet, somewhat ahead of my time. Sigh.
