You will want/need:

A portable projector that has a high lumen rating and fits within your budget and is comfortable to travel with.

A portable computer that has enough video capabilities to properly project what it is that you are projecting. Embedded moves within PowerPoint require additional video "ooomph".

It's not tricky at all Dave. You just need to sit down and start working with PowerPoint. Next think you know, you'll be an expert.

Parker's Tip of the Day: ALWAYS RESIZE YOUR DIGITAL IMAGES FIRST!

Be AWARE of image sizes and that if you drag a LARGE image file to a PowerPoint slide, it will quickly make the PowerPoint presentation SO LARGE that your poor little computer will choke and die while trying to ope and run the presenation.

ALWAYS RESIZE YOUR DIGITAL IMAGES FIRST!

Then, once you've resized them to the proper size and resolution (proper size and resolution depends on what you projecting on too, how far away is your projector, and how good your projector is) bring them in to your slides.

You should stop by the UW for a lunch meeting, Dave. I'd happily give you some purchasing advice.

I'd be willing to bet that it would be worth your time and $$$ to do so.
