Presentations from SABR 39

Thanks to T. Scott Brandon and Horsehide Trivia, all of the Trivia from SABR 39 are now available for download! You can download the files from this site (see below). The files are in Microsoft Powerpoint 2007 format, and should open fine with either Powerpoint 2007, Powerpoint 2003, or, if you don't have Office, with Microsoft Powerpoint Viewer.

The slides are also available on Slideshare, but due to limitations of that site, the answers display at the same time as the questions, which takes away from the experience - it's better to watch them locally. Click "Read more" to see the links.
