	Voice	Visual/SFX Wild "time tunnel" ride back to the year 1492. Sequence ends with a view of a grand Spanish castle. Period music begins.
	ANNOUNCER VO: It is well known that, when Christopher Columbus first presented his revolutionary idea to the King and Queen of Spain, it was not well received.
		Castle animation and SFX: a window opens and a man is tossed out (splash into moat).
	ISABELLA VO: And stay out!
		Segue to scroll of crude period map, embellished with dragons, monsters, etc. Everything about the map insinuates that to sail westward would be a disaster.
	ANNOUNCER VO: The problem was clear. COLUMBUS VO: (pedantic) The quality of the presentation is not up to the quality of the idea. -Whoa, what's that? AGS PERSON VO: AGS Speaker Support, Mr. Columbus. Here, try this out.	SFX of time machine arriving.
		SFX chord of a Macintosh powering up. Dissolve to the ultraspiffy AGS "Shortcut to India!" laptop presentation. The mouse shows off various rollover, pulldown and animation features: "The Earth Is Round," "No Monsters Here" and "Estimated Trade Profits ó Five Year Projection," etc.
	COLUMBUS VO: (awestruck) What do you call this wondrous thing? AGS PERSON VO: A PowerBook. Hook it up to this LCD Projector, Mr. Columbus, and voila! You'll be in America in no time. COLUMBUS VO: You mean India. AGS PERSON VO: Right. Whatever.
		Segue back to Spanish castle view.
	ANNOUNCER VO: (intones) And the rest, as they say, is history.
		SFX of cheers and thunderous applause.
	ANNOUNCER VO: I see we have time for one question.
		Applause fades away. Add menu choices: How did you structure your presentation? Can you show us highlights? Return to our own time. (These menu choices allow the reader to get more information about AGS Speaker Support services.)
