Presentations marked ** have a color hue variation cycling at about 1 second, caused by an interaction between the PowerPoint projector and video camera. This didn't occur when the camera was on the speaker and podium nor in 2006 videos. Some viewers may find this objectionable, but the subject illustrations can clearly be seen.  

Some will consider this a commercial. Hopefully most will consider this a service. The margins will never pay for the equipment.
