But I can't read an article and do something else, while I can listen 
(in)attentively, and when some feature comes up which matters to me, I 
can watch. Can't figure out how to get the image to go full screen, tho, 
need a magnifying glass for the slides. :-(

I have FC9beta with installs running in a virtual machine under kvm, and 
other than having lost my notes on how to make the VM outside accessible 
so I can test it as a server I'm happy. I installed the beta, then made 
a qcow copy for the updates as of May 9, then did a qcow copy of that to 
actually do my playing. So I can give the kids copies of the updates 
image and they can play in their own machines. Got to love kvm.
