I checked in with the Assistant Director (who is the person who actually processes [thankthegodsinheaven it isn't *me*] the requests and schedules the rooms based on AV needs) and she agreed with my observation that computer-related requests have really gone up, but that's largely with the lit folks and historians - the art historians are still using slides.
Another reason why the computer requests may be going up, besides the enchantment of So Pretty Power Point, is that some groups have noticed that to be scheduled in Fetzer (prime space) one must need advanced AV, and some put requests in for equipment they never intend to use to get into the building they prefer. (this, of course, is a Very Not Nice practice considering all of the folks who *do* need the equipment, and I personally hope all of the cheaters end up scheduled at 8:00 A.M. Sunday just so they can enjoy their karmic rewards *snark snark*)
Oooo, I'm cranky. It must be Friday...;)
