I'm not convinced I trust md5 enough to sign based on a sum of a
text file. (And what do you do if someone's sum DOES'NT match?!?)

I do, however, STRONGLY like the idea of a projector for the IDs.
But it's a bit expensive unless someone already has a plain-paper
reader for projectors. (Such exist.) I don't think, Kristin, that
this would gouge much into the name-and-face time, since most of the
time the IDs are making the rounds folks are just standing around
chatting.
