I got to see only short bits of Nicholas's presentations, using Gnash
on Ubuntu. The others I tried seemed to be complete.

The slide decks are very badly formatted, with text running off the
pages, and remarkably uninformative.

Alan Kay's presentation is one of the best I have ever seen. Thanks.

I'll watch some more tomorrow.
