>Could you send this to your mail list on the Nadcomm tour demo. 
>These are notes and replies to the Nadcomm Tour demo...Thanks.

>By the way, the comments were great and encouraging. I didn't 
>realize you had sent the notice to so many.   I might have combed my 
>hair had I known.
>
>Nadcomm Tour:
>  - Put it together in 30-45 minutes to see how it would work.
>  - Longer range thoughts were to produce full tour, and perhaps a 
>datacom tutorial.
>  - It=92s configured for slowest on-line speed, so should work with 
>dial-up, but barely.
>
>Production Tool:
>  - Microsoft Producer for PowerPoint.
>
>Why:
>  - It's free
>  - It's simple to use
>  - It's quick to produce a basic interactive show.
>
>Drawbacks:
>  - It's Microsoft
>  - It requires Internet Explorer and some MS media drivers.
>  - It could have some bugs; but that=92s uncharacteristic of MS.
>  - It's probably best for inhouse things.
>
>Alternatives:
>  - I'm looking at Flash
>      * Flash is much more difficult to use
>      * It takes more time to develop
>      * It cost a little bit, but it produces a really slick production
>      * It requires Flash Player be installed.
>  - I'm also looking into Director
>      * Director is very expensive and also more complex.
>  - Lastly, I may try some JavaScript things.
>      * They=92re free, but slow to develop without a tool.
>      * A misplaced comma can be disastrous, and take forever to find.
>
>Again, the responses were great.
