is it possible to have notes that only the speaker can view during a slide show...and not the audience?
i will be using an infocus machine and would like to have notes available for myself, but not that will project on the screen.

Yes, it is possible. You need a dual-monitor graphics card for this.

Not really....see what slots you have open on your motherboard....and find a
legacy graphics card that will fit into it.
WinXP supports this. I currently use a dual monitor card and am thinking
about seeing if I can get three monitors to work....haven't got around to it
yet as I have no use for such a system.

Is it a candy mint? Is it breath mint? Why, you're BOTH right!

If you're running the presentation from a laptop, the graphics card pretty much
needs to be one that supports dual monitors (though I believe there are PC-card
graphics cards that add second monitor support).

With a desktop, you have a bit more flexibility.
