Has anyone done a TeX presentation before?

I need to do a presentation to my company to convince people to use
TeX rather than Troff (or to use both at the very least).

Please help me keep TeX alive here!!!

Our needs are mostly in documentation...

I've been using the Texinfo package to produce online documentation as
well as printed manuals.

Some of the concerns that people have here:

    TBL - is there an equivalent table facility?
    PIC - ditto for pictures/line drawing graphics?

If I can find some neat and elegant way to do FLOW CHARTS in TeX, It
would be really great!!

    learning - is there any training available?  Most of us are at least
        familiar with TROFF and the macro packages, some of us are quite
        expert.  What will it cost us for people to learn a new system?

Can anyone help?

Please??

Thanks!
