If Bev is right, that it is a project panel (sometimes called an LCD), then
you might as if you can use PowerPoint to prepare your "slides". Fun app, great
slides, just don't use a dark blue background with red lettering - unreadable
for the audience. Remember to watch your point size, and if possible, display
it in a similar size room before the presentation, to check for readability.
Have fun!
