Emergency Message during a Presentation

[texas_mavrick]

I'm looking for a way to display an emergency message during a powerpoint
presentation. Such as a car blocking someone or someone needing to pick up
there children. I can use a stand alone program if needed.

Is this a computer on a network?

If not, how would that work, in order to get the message entered into some
program, you would have to stop the presentation, switch to some other
program to type in the message. Wouldn't it be easier to just make an
announcement?

If you have a projector with two sources connected, you could type the
message on a separate computer, then switch sources.

Considered enabling the Messenger service?
