White boards are interactive. (i.e. one can draw on them in response to
a question, pass the marker on, etc.)
PPT files are neither standard nor particularly interactive.
Opening a good HTML editor with a "publish" button would also be better.
We really should be using "wb" so that the multicast can just pick that up.
