[comp.sys.mac.system] Hey Thanks for the Ideas!

A while ago I posted a request asking for ideas about Seven demos.
I got several replies from people.  They were all helpful.

As mentioned in my last post I was battling the evil MIS goon/vampires.
Well they aren't completely dead yet.  But I distracted them by telling them
how to get copies of System version 4.1 ...

Anyway this is what I did:
I used the format of the HyperCard stack "System 7.0 Overview"
I took each topic that wasn't too techy (I excluded in depth coverage of VM,
DAL and IAC) and developed little short demos of features that the people would
be running into everyday.

I capped it off with a demo of Pub and Sub between Pixel Paint Pro 2.0 and
Excel 3.0 on different machines.  

I think the best advice to would be demo masters out there would be to practice
several times what you are going to do.  Also read that chapter in Guy
Kawasaki's book "The Macintosh Way" that talks about giving demos.

So thanks for all the replies and like the README file says:
"System 7.0 Rules!"


Ant Man!
