To add to Jeff's funny analogy, it was also like toast from a toaster.   At
first I thought that it might be dirty campaign tricks, but it happened to
both sides of the debates.  Mr. Machine Repair Man would go over there
and poke it, then it would work for a while then die holding onto someone's
key slide.  Ruben ended his talk without his last slide, having given up on 
any kind of continuity.  By this time, we were suggesting using hand shadow 
puppet illustrations. (Tom H. does a great T. rex one.)
