Technical Difficulties

If you were at the TM meeting where I gave my final presentation from the Technical Presentations manual you will understand why I am showing the picture of a laptop and a left handed person with a mouse! I made the fatal error of being a very left handed person doing a presentation on a laptop set up for a right handed person and without a mouse. As my presentation consisted mainly of links to websites I did not fare very well with many false attempts at trying to click with the correct button and usually failing. It just goes to show how we take things for granted and don't function well when there is one small technical change. This also resulted in the presentation being much longer than it should have been.


I promised at the meeting I would provide the links to all the sites I showed in the presentation and here they are.

There are no mistakes or failures, only lessons.

My lesson learned is do my next presentation on my own laptop with my faithful left handed mouse!!
