A Christmas list I can sign up to ! :) And agree with... Except that I'd put the projector as more 'necessary' than 'delux' because all too often even if the venue has a projector the colour balance is different to what you're used to and you subtle slides will look flat or too saturated with one particular colour. I'd also recommend that if you're going to be given a laser pointer you make sure that whoever gets it for you buys one with some shake tolerance built in... there's nothing worse than a shaking point on your powerpoint! :) Simon At last!

I will repost. I use a lot of these tools and find them incredibly helpful. Others, like the "hand pointer," well, now I must get one! It's just my style. Regarding the portable lectern, I like to use a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00004Z5LI?tag=6mart02-20&camp=213381&creative=390973&linkCode=as4&creativeASIN=B00004Z5LI&adid=00JM3WE5J6H3YENY6FD5&" rel="nofollow">folding document stand</a>. It fits in the file box I carry, making it extremely compact. Fabulous list! I will repost. I use a lot of these tools and find them incredibly helpful.
