What I HATE even more is when people call them 'PowerPoint presentations'.

Even worse...when a teacher says "One option is to create a PowerPoint..." WHAT THE FUCK IS A POWER POINT?!?!  :mad:

But alas, remind youself of what company we're talking about here, and it makes too much sense.

If it is a verb, then it can't be trademarked...

but, I just use OOo, because I am a cheap bastard.

One of the funniest PowerPoint presentations I ever saw was in a Poetry course.  I don't know how many of you are familar with Sylvia Plath, but she was a poet who killed herself by sticking her head in a gas oven.

Anyway, this guy in class had to do a presentation about her, and for the slide on her death he had a huge picture of an oven.

I don't know if anyone else finds that amusing.

I hate to be an Apple whore all the time, but the few experiences I've had with Keynote have been pretty positive.  Some of the default templates are a bit more elegant, and so are the transitions.  The cool thing about it is that you can export the slide shows to Quicktime, then import them into Final Cut Express/Pro or iMovie, then do voiceovers.  It's a possible option whenever an editor's built-in text generators aren't quite good enough, and you can't afford to splurge on anything else.

The Army is gay for PP...
Quarterly training briefs, new policies, old stats, planned field exercises, after action reviews, classes...you name it, everything you do in the army is on power point somewhere.

It's gay.
