Abstract
An internet presentation system includes an internet accessible server that permits access to a database of editable and executable presentation files to select users with a specific type of periphery device. The periphery device, or projector, includes a hardware ID used by the server to authenticate the user, and to update driver information for the periphery device. The server additionally maintains an administration mode by which select administrators may group and restrict the select users to specific groups of presentation files. The administrators also create and edit template files and color scheme files required, but not editable, by the select users. The server also maintain statistic of the select users and their activities. The administrators use the statistics to target template and color scheme files for deletion and editing.
