Sonny

I get "dynamic" when I speak without notes - albeit with my having
thought through what I want to say - on my feet and without the
constraints (straight jacket) of a PowerPoint slide show. I was a
"pioneer" of PowerPoint at work years ago but my teaching scores
increased when I returned to "from the heart" black/white board
presentations. But when lecturing a large group PowerPoint + web pages
help with those not taken to "dynamic" presentations.
