Powerpoint talks

If possible could you please submit your Powerpoint files by emailing them as an attachment to jsymp2004@aaoepp.aao.gov.au with the title of your talk in the subject line. This will allow people to view your talk by teleconference. A PC will be made available in the Marsfield Lecture Theatre with access to all submitted presentations thus reducing the amount of time needed for computer changeovers.  For those of you who do not wish to do this, you may plug your laptop into the PC projector if you prefer.  We also recommend that all speakers bring a backup copy of their talk (either on laptop, or on CD/floppy).
