- fluidcruft 2y agoI was a co-op at a company in the 90s that specialzed in mechanical simulation of virtual prototypes.

- degamad 2y agoThe slides look to me a lot closer to laTex beamer than PowerPoint. Edit: I take it back, the PDF metadata says: Creator: PowerPoint Producer: Mac OS X 10.4.8 Quartz PDFContext
