In the days before Powerpoint, people used to give presentations using transparencies on an overhead projector. While tidying up my stuff, I found a few sets of transparencies for talks I gave back then. This is one from early 1996 at a guess (I used it as the basis for another talk later that year).
These aren't the slides themselves, they're the paper copies I made. That's because they include my handwritten notes (that didn't appear on the screen). I stopped making such notes shortly after — indeed, this may be the last time I did make them — as I found I didn't really need them.
