 yeah great idea!

  i'd just... say what you've been doing, talk for 5-10 minutes and
then just let people ask questions.  5-10 mins really isn't long.

 just a couple of words of advice:

 * speak towards and look at the *back* of the room, pretending to be
looking at everyone.
 * if you don't have anything written for people to look at, use
gestures.  count bullet-points on your fingers "theatrically".
 * otherwise, keep your hands by your side, or one in front of you.
 * don't move around, but don't stand still either.  if you move, do
so deliberately and then stay put.
 * when someone asks a question, repeat it back (so everyone can hear
it, and they can check you understand it!)

 i know i know i know :)  well... you could always take the mock-up
images i made, and just print them out in 55x85mm, to show people.

 but i think, one thing that would be really nice would be to get
people interested in those hackerspaces to actually make up I/O boards
based around EOMA-68.
