Ok, I guess sending this as an attachment isn't going to work. So, below
is a link to a Beamer presentation that is intended to give the viewer a
taste of what can be done with org-mode.

Originally, I was going to make a video, but getting good resolution on
the video was too much trouble. I will post a link to the demo on Worg
as soon as I get around to it.

Nice. Three tiny suggestions:
- have a conclusive slide?
- use a better font for tables, align tags
- upload it somewhere (like slideshare.net)

I admit the demo is rough. I had to quit working on it in order to do my
regular work. Adding a concluding slide shouldn't be hard though. As the
method I used to make the demo is highly inefficient, it would be too
much work to change the font, so I'm not going to do that. Anyway, I
happen to like the font. :)
I didn't realize until you mentioned it that slideshare.net could take
pdf files. I was thinking about putting the demo on Scribd, but not in
its present form. Maybe slideshare.net is a better place. I'll check it out.
One problem, which is a result of the way I made the demo, is the large
size of the pdf. I'm thinking about trying another method which should
decrease the file size dramatically. But that will have to wait for awhile.

Yeah, I was just being fussy about the |---+ sequence of characters in
the table not being aligned... no problem.

Don't know if slideshare is "better" but it's definitely more suitable
for presentations.

I just took another look at the pdf in two different viewers. In both
viewers, the table characters are aligned except for a few slides where
they are purposely not aligned. I thought the fonts where embedded in
the pdf, but maybe they aren't. Would you be kind enough to take another
look at the pdf and the table character alignment?

I see what you mean now. The "-" and the "+" characters are not aligned
in the font I used. I hadn't noticed that before.

As you can see, nothing *that* important. :)
