          Application No. 09/792,758                                                  

          Representative claim 34 is reproduced as follows:                           
               34. A computer-readable medium having computer executable              
          instructions for viewing and controlling an electronic                      
          presentation on a computer display device, said computer-                   
          executable instructions comprising:                                         
               displaying the electronic presentation on one or more                  
          audience displays viewed by audience members;                               
               displaying the electronic presentation on a presenter                  
          display viewed by a presenter; and                                          
               controlling the flow of said electronic presentation during            
          the delivery of the presentation in response to commands received           
          from either audience members or the presenter.                              
          The examiner relies on the following references:                            
          Tanikoshi et al. (Tanikoshi)  5,634,018          May  27, 1997              
          Treibitz et al. (Treibitz)    6,091,408          July 18, 2000              
          Claims 34-46 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a).  As                   
          evidence of obviousness the examiner offers Tanikoshi in view of            
          Treibitz.                                                                   
          Rather than repeat the arguments of appellants or the                       
          examiner, we make reference to the briefs and the answer for the            
          respective details thereof.                                                 
          OPINION                                                                     
          We have carefully considered the subject matter on appeal,                  
          the rejection advanced by the examiner and the evidence of                  
          obviousness relied upon by the examiner as support for the                  
          rejection.  We have, likewise, reviewed and taken into                      
          consideration, in reaching our decision, the appellants’                    

                                          2
