To Point or Not to Point (PowerPoint that is)

Yesterday I scrambled to make sure Anaheim CRC was ready to host the Classis GLA meeting at which Joel Van Soelen would be examined. If slide projection was required for any part of the meeting, I needed to make sure we had a technician who would run the video system.

Mike Van Dyk, our video guru, told me that he would not be able to be there but he would be happy to train me on the system. At 7 pm Monday, Mike and I spent 45 minutes going over what it takes to power up and shut down the system. As usual, Mike had everything well documented and after our time together I was prepared to handle any requests that classis might throw my way.

Tuesday morning I got the system ready by the time the classis officers arrived and was then informed that there would be no need for any projection. Was Monday's prep a waste of time?
No, because 1. now I'm ready to run the system for any event that we may have at church and 2. I have a new appreciation for the work that Mike Van Dyk and Bruce Ornee have done to get us a quality audio/visual system.
