Mark --
We give three-hour presentations on OS/2 three times a week. (Hey, it's our
job, man). Some things we like to do....
1) Always do two things at once. While you're showing applications format
disks, download the CIS weather map (later you can copy it into an app),
compile a program, print long documents or many pages. I *real* neat one is to
install a program while you're demonstrating OS/2.
2) Create a file with an HPFS name. I use "Can you save an HPFS file to a
disketteand share it with DOS?" Show it on the desktop. Copy it to a diskette.
Open the A; drive object and show the long filename. Open a DOS window and
show the truncated name.
3) Copy text from a DOS program. Paste it into another DOS program, a Windows
program, and an OS/2 program.
4) Use CPU Monitor Plus and kill the Workplace Shell while applications are
running.
5) Show WPS integration with Relish or cc:Mail. Both are excellent examples of
using WPS. I can give details if you'd like.
6) Show DOS settings, then open a DOS window and show changing settings on the
fly.
7) Start a game that uses a sound card, like King's Quest, Let it run while
you do something else. Or just play an audio CD while you're working.
A big don't ... Don't start Lotus applications in front of people. If you
intend to show them, start the apps before you start your demonstration. They
are all very slow to open and do not show OS/2 to its best. (Note: This is
supposed to be fixed in a Feb. service pack.)
I have a Freelance slideshow that has press quotes, awards won, and short
product descriptions that I will be happy to share. We show it as our audience
is filing in.
