   SOme have them, few around here   WHen displaced   
   after Katrina the atm at Wells Fargo bank near my temporary   
   motel home in SAn Antone had one.  Loved it!  I could use an ATM without

   I assume that unless you interact with the podium's controls it won't accept   
   signals from your laptop.  I understood   
   those comments to indicate that the profs provide their own   
   laptops, but must still interact with the podium gizmo.   
      
   Best I can tell anyway.   
      
   LIked your tagline btw.  I always said   
   "karaoke is a Japanese word meaning tone deaf.  I'll steal   
   yours however.
