The presenter had the top of his laptop blocking the projector so his Powerpoint presentation wouldn't be on the screen before he was ready to use it. He kept feeling the laptop lid to see how hot it was getting from the projected light.
Why doesn't Powerpoint tell everyone about this simple way to turn off your presentation until you are ready?
When in Presentation mode, just hit B (for black) and the screen goes Black. When you are ready to start, hit B again. I'm always surprised at how many veteran Powerpoint users don't know this. You can also hit W (for White). There are lots of other good mid-Presentation tricks you can find if you hit F1 in presentation mode. Like using the cursor as a pen (and then erasing it).
