Presented by Tom Gutnick Chromebooks are increasingly popular because they are simpler, safer computers. But simplicity doesn't mean sacrificing productivity. They handle typical activities — email, web surfing, word processing, spreadsheets, and so much more — with ease. This session will help you decide whether you should get one, and if so, you'll be able to make more-informed purchasing decisions. Tom Gutnick — technologist, educator, musician — has worked in the computer industry for most of his adult life. As the owner of Sunny Banana IT Consulting, he helps small businesses and home offices use technology more effectively. He also teaches personal technology at Arlington Adult Education and information technology at Northern Virginia Community College. |
| Bill Walsh has found that doing presentations using Microsoft PowerPoint can be a bit tedious to assemble. Yes, while it would probably be of some benefit to read the PowerPoint instruction manual, it was nevertheless daunting to find that some features of PowerPoint were not very intuitive. Enter our favorite 'n' free picture/video viewer, Irfanview. Released by Irfan Škiljan in June, 1996, Irfanview is a very versatile image viewer, and it also turns out to be a very handy, easy to use presentation tool. It shows still images of many different formats, and also shows many video formats. What became a game changer for presentations is that Irfanview will show MP4 files. Last year I used Irfanview exclusively for my presentation on Surface Mount Technology. Using a mix of images and video files from SMT manufacturers, the presentation went well and was easy to assemble. To show things in sequence, a number was added at the beginning of each file, in the order to be presented. I will show some of the things I did to accomplish this, including setting the Irfanview options for the presentation. While Irfanview may not have as many fancy presentation capabilities as PowerPoint, it is nevertheless a potent presentation mechanism for the Average Joe (or Jane.) |
