Unfortunately, there is nothing quite like being able to point your CEO 
at the hot-list and pull down your favorite web pages within seconds.
A couple of suggestions:

	Get him an internet account at the highest speed you can, before the 
presentation.  If your corp is linked to the net, make sure he is on the 
schedule to be connected via the LAN.  Also get him a netcom account and 
be prepared with a copy of netscape and trumpet or winsock in the 
briefcase.  The set-up for this follows:

Capture the screen and edit it with powerpoint.  This will give a sense 
of what the displays will look like, but will not be the "adventure" of 
interactive.

Pick "Big names", like Dow Jones (http://dowvision.wais.net), MCI, and
Sprint.  Get pages on the browsers as well.

Print a set of "handout pages" to a postscript printer (Mosaic 2.x lets 
you do this).

If you have ghostscript, you can view them "live" as well.

Finally, set up your own server and have your hot-list graphics cached on 
that machine.  Alternatively, pre-scan the hot-list onto the browser
prior to the presentation, this way most of what you want will be cached.
