Howser. We see this difference I feel because we are into it, and into the business of seeing presentations differently, but also here in Mexico presentations are still ultra dull and so 1990's! Anyway.. a Question? What about Jamie's presentation, about that he constantly turned his back on the audience.. what are your comments about this? Can he be excuse for the passion he had during the presentation? Thanks. I agree with R.L. Howser.

Unfortunately, as I'm sure Garr can confirm, here in Japan business presentations are still brutally dull and pointless. When someone does try to step out of the box, it is usually in the wrong direction, towards frenetic rather than simple. I saw one the other night that quite literally made me nauseous with all the swirling, swooping and zooming transitions. So keep chipping away.
