Okay stop!!! This is stupid. After midnight tonight all her slides will be available online at lesliefisher.com

Go to http://lesliefisher.com/handouts/index.html to agree to her conditions for viewing her slides. Right now the old version of her slides are online, but she promised to load the new version within the next 24 hours.

After agreeing, scroll down to "Topic Based Handouts" and click on "Gadgets! 2006" (she might rename it when she uploads the new ones, but you'll figure it out.)
