The speed of the frames work for me, seems to be just right as long as you do not get caught up gazing at the models instead of reading the text... If one does that than waiting for it to reload works fine as it is just fast enough....<br /><br />Maria you better never underestimate your computer talents again, you did a great job!

So the third watch, I had to agree that the slides move just a tad too fast. I would say the font for what I think is the first slide could be a bit larger and that could happen if they remove the second title since it's already prominent on the cover.<br /><br />Angela<br />http://publishness.blogspot.comAngela Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324366495151363782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023439581304993308.post-84115406912846051982011-07-25T10:49:11.788-05:002011-07-25T10:49:11.788-05:00Raelyn: I have no real talent.

Honestly, if it was slower, i wouldnt stick around to read the whole thing, because i'm a fast reader and get frustrated if something forces me to read at a slower pace.
