spreading the word of dotnet

Hi,

I'm a MCAD who is 1 test away from MCSD (studying for 70-229, just
passed the 70-300) and I have recently started a new job at a company
that is not currently using .NET.

I have been tasked with giving a series of presentations to the
programmers at my company, in an effort to warm them up to the notion
of using .NET.

The first one will be a HIGH level overview, basically citing the
benefits of .NET (specifically VB.NET) and how its different than
classic VB, etc.

These are mostly Green Screen (mainframe) programmers, some of whom
have never even used regular VB... although I think a few have.

I'm not looking for anyone to write the presentation for me, BUT... if
there are some resources any of you have found helpful for this sort
of thing, some links would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks everyone,

Chris
