Stability

• Is the information vital? Then make sure students can access it!
• Best option? ITS or your professional computer staff, again.
• But do note the history of the machine you're using - even ITS machines go down
• The same is true of any machine you're using to give a presentation; avoid ones that fail frequently

For these reasons, as well as hacker-risks and boneheadedness on your own part, Back-up everything often.
