        <description><![CDATA[The information is useful, but a slideshow is a poor way of presenting it.  A consolidated list of the relevant files would have been much better.  The icons are too small to see in most shots anyway, so one has to go to the files to see what they contain anyway.This article is typical of the poor ways TR has used slideshows over the last several years.  The worst are those with images only and no text or explanation of what we're looking at.  The recent preview of the next version of Office was typical of this.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Greg, I certainly appreciate all your hard work in this and other articles that you have authored to help all of us. However, my time like yours is valuable. Hence, if the article has nothing but thumbnails, etc. I simply skip over it. I want an article with text or a .PDF file, preferably the later. The .PDF files can be easily read and archived for future reference. This is not the first request that you have received on this subject. I doubt it will be the last. How about coming in out of the rain, smell the roses, and share what is genuinely a wealth of talent and information that you have in a manner that we would all sincerely appreciate. Thanks so much. ---- Lee]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Greg, I agree with Joe935 - this is tech agony!  Not only should there be an alternate pdf file but the &quot;previous&quot; and &quot;next&quot; arrows covered up part of the name on many of the files.  I guessed at some and should be able to find them, but that's just sloppy work by a so-called professional! And since the file name was in the picture I had to type the names into a text file so I could later find the files!  I really didn't need the practice.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Really? &quot;If you don't like the galleries, don't look at them.&quot; It is good to know that you are just doing what was asked of you, Greg, but your attitude still leaves much to be desired! I know you've heard this gallery criticism before. Probably many times before, in fact.  Still, any number of TR postings have involved galleries with some text. Not really a solution but beats the heck out of a pure gallery.Anyway, if you don't like our comments, don't read them.]]></description>

Give it up, or go out and buy good stock footage, or you do know there are professional photographers, yes? Stick to what you do best. Words, data, analysis; we'll imagine the rest. Meantime, at least get a actual image presenter that works.]]></description>
