Batcave home theater: [link]

I'm giving a powerpoint presentation Wed. I have now prepared the actual slide show, and a speech to go with it. But for my notes, what I'd like to have is thumbnail of each slide, and then tie the stuff I'm going to say to that thumbnail. Is there an easy way to make powerpoint generate a series of thumbnails of the slides? I'd rather have that than the RTF outline so that I know exactly what the audience is seeing at any one moment. Right now it looks like I have to copy one slide at a time.

I think I've seen powerpoint do what I think you want, Gar. I think it's in the print options, although the more I think about it, I'm not sure that this option is available in every version. I don't remember off the top of my head how to do it, and I don't have powerpoint at home. Monday is a holiday here, but if you don't get a response from someone else earlier, I would be happy to go through it at work and provide a step by step on Tuesday. Just email my profile addy if you still need help.

What is frustrating is that it almost does what I want. If go into the slide sorter, there are a bunch of thumb nails of all my slides. But it won't export those thumbnails.

[On Edit] Ah - I think it something called handouts. (You can tell this is my first use of PowerPoint.)

[Update. Use send to word. Choose notes below or notes to left to get exactly what I want.

Okay y'all, I feel like a complete doofus, but I couldn't figure out the basic thing of opening the Dell computer case. I tried several different ways short of jumping on it to get it to open - to no avail.

So I called the Geek Squad at Best Buy and paid $39 to get the wireless card installed.

Okay price, they did it in about 1 hour, everything is okay.

I think some companies deliberately make the cases hard to open, to discourage DIY. Or maybe, in the wise words of MST3K, "they just don't care."

Before Steve Jobs came back, Apple had some of the worst designs for upgrading RAM ever. You nearly had to dismantle everything inside a 8500/9500 series case to get at the RAM.

Well, and then Dell typically (IME) makes the cases pretty easy to open, in a very non-intuitive way.

Anyone have any magic tricks for getting an HP 6120 Officejet printer to network with a couple of Macs using an Airport Express as a print server? We had it working in the old apartment, and now I can't remember how we did it. (So far the Just Plug It Back In The Way It Was In The Old Place method has failed to yield satisfactory results.)

Yeah, the 8100, 8500 cases were some of the worst designs ever. You had to completely remove the processor, all the expansion cards, and pull the motherboard to upgrade the RAM.
