I'm sitting in a meeting with a dozen Arabs, French, and Americans, and the Frenchman from Dassault who's supposed to be giving the presentation is using an IBM ThinkPad and trying to get it to mirror the laptop video onto the projector. It just doesn't work, despite the fact that he has several computer jocks giving him advice. He's already tried to blame the projector, replacing it with his own unit (with a lower lumen bulb, so we had to kill the lights in the room), but of course that didn't help. It also doesn't help that he's using the French localized version of Windows, so nobody else can read the dialogues. Ah, well...c'est la vie.
