I hope you used Powerpoint slide shows with moving bullet points that
slide in from the sides or fly in from the top. Those always help sell
a concept. I really hope you used the phrases "leverage our core
competencies to effect a paradigm shift in interconnectivity mindset"
and, "at the end of they day, the information bandwidth available will
provide for an unparalleled rich-media eperience for the end users and
provide lower TCO for our IT support assets."
I really hope you did.
