Edit: I forgot to mention, the slides that have only a title, are also going to include a visual example once I finish them.

Sorry it took so long to post. Here's some things that I noticed (Mind you I'm looking at this in Open Office, so formating may be a bit different):

1. On the title slide, the word "club" would look better if it was in-line with "Presented by ...".
2. On the File Structure slide, it might be a good idea to mention which drive letters usually go with things (ex. C:\ is your main drive, D:\ CD-DVD Drive, etc.) so the screen shot on the next page will make more sense.
3. You may want to briefly mention the G:\ drive after the F:\ drive slide.
4. NetStorage: Maybe show a screen shot of where the link is to access NetStorage.
5. Zipping files: It wouldn't hurt to tell people how to use the built in zipping applet in windows.
6. It might be good to have a common problems slide where we mention briefly how to deal with issues like the usb drive not showing up because its being mapped to the same location as the student drive, etc.

These are just a few ideas that I had while looking over the slide show and you may have already changed things since this morning. You can take them or leave them, whatever you think will look best.
