The lowly page number

A professor of mine insisted that presentations have not only page numbers, but also the total number of pages (like this: 4/17), so that he knew how much longer he'd have to listen to this... :-)

Another practical aspect of 4/17 is that a person printing them out can tell if they've got them all (pages go astray).

I do this for business presentations, but especially at conferences to give attendees hope. It includes a progress bar.

Please tell me you also do the classic Microsoft progress bar... 0/100 50/100 95/100 97/100 98/100 99/100 99.5/100

Windows progress bars can occasionally go backwards too <evil laughs>

This also helps the speaker know whether to speed up or slow down to fill their time.
