On your detail for point # 3 (Demos) I think the following sentence requires correction("so make sure..."). 6.You won’t run out of time. As much as you try to control the time, things always run short at the end or end sooner than you expect…so make sure you the demo was done…do it first." Yours truly, Meir Silver Dear Jeff:

Thank you for sharing your expertise on slide presentations- your suggestions really make a difference!

On your detail for point # 3 (Demos) I think the following sentence requires correction(“so make sure…”).

6.You won’t run out of time. As much as you try to control the time, things always run short at the end or end sooner than you expect…so make sure you the demo was done…do it first.”

Yours truly,

I must agree with the no. 10 tip which is my favorite. We should compare ourselves to the one which we can compete.
