I bow to your knowledge here - I'm not that savvy about this stuff. Come to think of it, I've seen PP presentations and don't they project directly from the computer?
Maybe not. But this kind of stuff often uses the hotel's internal network for piping the data from your laptop to the projector. Anyone, especially an employee, can sniff at many points. Of course, if the hotel is pushing data on microwave links it gets even easier.
From your laptop to the projector + enemy laptop in one easy keystroke :).
Sorry to disagree, but there are several high-end systems that do precisely that. The blackhawk switcher is used with high-end presentations and can store hundreds of slides quite easily.
Another possibility is a projector with a smartcard chip in it. I would assume that this is unlikely since you have to purposefully load the slides onto the chip, but the low level of graphics on the presentation I saw lend themselves to a "chip presentation"
Yup. That's right.
That was my first thought as well. I use these projectors all the time when I make presentations for clients (with my laptop and their projector). It's just a different kind of computer "monitor" -- it even plugs into the same video port.
It's more likely that someone videotaped or made notes of the presentation, then created a duplicate presentation using the same template.
Actually, some projectors do store files on them. But the only way I've seen to get the files there is to....insert a floppy disk. But they just said it wouldn't have fit on a floppy disk. Hmmmmmm
