Post "Seven Ways a black hole can kill you" presentation

Spurred on by episode 18 of Astronomy Cast, I went to Phil's presentation on the web of "Seven Ways a Black Hole can Kill You".

When you get to slide 27 it talks about passing through. Slide 28 shows a picture of the solar system pre IAU and slide 29 say go to orbial annimation.

So where is the orbital annimation? It is not on the html slides or in the powerpoint presentation proper. Any ideas where we can download this

Sigh, sorry. I use some software for that talk that has to be manipulated quite a bit to show what happens. I can't even remember what it's called. Remind me in a few days and I'll look into it, when I get home from this meeting.
