All Good Things Must Come to an End
Reflections on PETC
By Gary Kayye, CTS
In August, I chaired my last PETC meeting. I’ve served on ICIA’s Professional Education and Training Committee for over nine years, the last two as chair, and have enjoyed it thoroughly. Well, I am proud to say that the 20 or so members of the PETC have done it again for 2002. The course selection meeting for the InfoComm 2002 show was just completed and the seminar schedule is the finest one yet.

CEO, MARGI Systems
"Now with an average $300 price tag, and the wide variety of companion applications, handhelds are becoming a viable business tool. As the level of acceptance for handhelds increases, the variety of available applications has increased to include simple list-makers to powerful ones like those equivalent to handheld versions of Microsoft’s Word and Excel."

Giving Instructors Total Image Control

One projector in the front of the room is great. But, if you could simultaneously deliver data and video to individual workstation screens during a training or class, even better.

To PDF or Not to PDF, Readers Respond
One expert's point of view as to why PDFs are needed on your website
We had a lot of feedback regarding an article in last week's issue of KNews, "Six Tips for Improving Your Websites," by Denise Harrison. We also had some folks posting about it on the User Forum. Some agreed; some didn't. Here is one letter which did a great job of stating the case for keeping PDFs on Websites.

Stock Footage Resources
Stock and royalty free resources abound on the Internet by John Virata
Stock footage and royalty free images are great ways to augment original content in your video projects as well as in interactive multimedia, DVD projects, print, PowerPoint and other presentations. The Internet is an excellent resource to search for content that fits your specific needs.
