Just make it an HTML document and Sue and I will be able to review
it on-line.

The design review is like your midterm for this class (together with the
final presentation. Not that you need any further motivation from me.

As for your comments coming into the meeting, be sure to write down all
minor problems (misspelling, inconsistencies in writing). Those
matters will not have to be addressed in the live review. The live
review should concentrate on important general comments, such as
problems with the design (doesn't address some important
functionality, is not complete, cannot be implemented given current
knowledge, etc.)
