Foiled Again!
Please excuse me for wrapping up the week with another post related to my new MacBook Pro. It probably seems rather quaint to all of you that have been using laptops, but I am rubbing my wrists, freed from the shackles of a desktop, so it’s on my mind.
I’m on a short business trip and will be participating in a meeting with a customer. I have a few slides to present and can finally do it from my own laptop, rather than handing somebody else a thumb drive. I stopped at Tyson’s Corner on my way here to visit, as I understand it, the very first Apple Store and pick up a mini display port to VGA adapter, so I can plug into the projector. I happily created my slides in Keynote, instead of that other program, and I purchased the Keynote Remote iPhone app. It’s a nifty little tool that lets me control the show over a WiFi network. You just swipe to change slides backwards or forwards. It also displays your notes, if you need them.
I was quite satisfied with myself. Then I realized that my meeting is on a military base. I’m not allowed to have my phone in the building.
I guess I’ll just have to do it the old-fashioned way.
