@MD, Agree to a point. PowerPoint animations don't win the day. Old school thought relies too heavily on high res PNGs vs a compelling visual and profound talk track.

Well I'm just saying presentation is important, wether you like it or not. Unfortunately it can be the little things that make the right impression, so cover all you bases.

What is Ludus?

But I still can’t help but think that for a person in my position, given the opportunities that I was given, I am just a complete failure and nowhere near what I could be.
