R help - Oct 2004 - Seeking advice on "introducing R"

Dear List:

This is in search of advices/opinions for a lecture presentation on R. I have
this presentation scheduled on Saturday (16-October-2004); the topic is
"introduction to R". The audience is a group of researchers and
scholars who have either never used R/are beginning to use R, but otherwise have
used a package called limdeb, and SPSS. There is also a request to cover
Rgnumeric, and excel bindings to R.

I have no knowledge of limdeb.

Would greatly appreciate your advices, opinions, and look forward to learn from
your experiences in introducing R to similar audiences. Also, pointers to web
resources would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,
Arin Basu
