So what is this all about?
The text above is formatted in Courier font, with the "<pre>" command.

The idea behind this little screen test page is this: If you look at it using the computer you are going to be making a presentation on and then size the window that you're using to prepare the presentation the same, then it will look the same when you present it as while you were making it up.

I've often been chagrined how different my presentation has looked when I made it, so I was driven to make up this page. Email me (gary@philosophy.tamu.edu if you find it helpful, and if there is any screen size information you think it would be useful to have in the chart below.
