I use powerpoint each week, trying to keep it in the background. I have also consistently passed out a notesheet/handout for people to use. Both help provide other gates than the ear for receiving the message. If I could do a scratch and sniff, I'd do that (HA!) These are all good tips. Thanks, Milton!
Sounds good to me, Peter!
