Ruby talk outline

I promised Bob Pelz I would provide an outline of my talk. I've run
out of time to produce a document that I could hand out, so I hope
those of you that are planning to show, don't mind printing this out
for yourselves.

The talk is scheduled for two hours, but I don't think I will attempt
to enthrall the throngs of people that are going to show for that long.
:) We'll probably spend a majority of the time doing QA.

If you bring your laptop, I'll help setup the environment on either a
Windows or Linux PC. Come to the meeting to find out why I'm even
mentioning installing things on a Windows PC.
