I generally put the slides into PDF (the semcolor package provides a lot of nice bells and whistles for PDF), and put acrobat into full-screen mode. UNC's classroom projectors come with Win98 laptops, some with acrobat reader and some without, so what I do beforehand is burn a CD with the presentation and a copy of acrobat reader for windows.
