They charmed me, too. I have rarely been treated so nicely as I was by the folks at Sioux who put on the show, and the wonderful people who attended.

A part of me thinks the outlook of those slides is not "shiny-professional", just compare your slides with the first and last slides in that Pdf probably added by the conference organizers, with refined graphics, etc:

On the other hand I like that plain look myself :-) I love simple readable things, my slides look equally plain and simple.

Was the talk mostly the same as the other one you gave
with the same slides? (forget where that was)

That said, there are language issues that, as you put, simply can't be addressed in D2 because they're not worth the effort required to fix them. I only meant that I think once D3 does come around, and it's *perfect*, that others simply wont be able to resist it and it will truly be adopted on a mass scale.

There's no such thing as a perfect language.

What I'm used to, *this* means bold. *Perfect* thus means absolutely
perfect.

Perfect*, on the other hand, would mean either 'more information below'
or 'piece of crap', depending on whether it's in a technical text or an ad.
