i revcall two presentations i saw once in melbourne. The first was by Andrew Lock, becuase the shop was a sponsor. His talk was proffessional, with slick photographs. But it laked heart, it apperad he only gave it because it was a commintment, and he dissapeared quickly afterwards.

Then Gren Hinton gave a talk on a solo iceclimbing trio to NZ. It was allready late when he started, but such was his enthusiasm he spent at least 10 minutes talking about the first slide - a picture of his gear! It wasn't a slick presenatation - it was the real Gren talking, it was raw and spontanoeous. Not practice, no cliches. I'd understand if some of these things drove some of the audiance mad, but I loved it - thought it was the best presentation I have ever seen.
