Re: Public talks on TASS

Thanks to Herb for a very nice outline on what to present in a talk.  This
is a very well thought out piece.  We would all do well to follow Herb's
advice.

One thing we don't have much of is "gee whiz" images.  Anything we show
will look pretty bad next to even the worst images collected by other
amateurs.  The only place we can win is to show a long strip - and this
never looks like much.  Perhaps the rest of you can think of a way to be
more impressive.
