The combination of differing software versions, tested connections that don't work right before the presentation, and having to boot and recable leaves me with terrible frustration. I have seen guys diddle for 45 minutes trying to get a laptop, projector, and presentation burned to a CD to all work together - delaying the program. I had a program to give in March wherein I had the laptop and projector and presentation nicely tested before I went in and then when I plugged it all together at the program it would not come up without 10 minutes of frantic checking and recabling. GRRR. I hate it. Nothing as simple as a light bulb shining through a lens. The ONLY reason I have for slides any more is my personal 25% failure rate for PowerPoint presentations in public meetings.
