Hi Chris,

Byron has passed on some thoughts to me about the new grey template, and 
has points out the constraints that it has. I can see that we might have 
to look at this template again and make some adjustments. That ppt 
template did not go through as much testing as the other ones, so it is 
can be up for debate :)  

Byron has converted one of his talks to the new template (and showed me 
where he was having some difficulties with it). Would you be able to do 
the same and come by and you can let me know what's working and what's not?

Also, could you send me the ppt template (with the off-white background) 
you're thinking of? I don't have a copy of that one on my computer.

Thanks!
