Mr Downtown, sorry to hear you are burdened with PowerPoint presentations. Most of are fortunate not to have this affliction.

Not for work! I give talks about Chicago history, showing old photos to various audiences (went to Google's Chicago office last week), and I thought it would be great to have a 2.5-lb computer that fit in my bike bag instead of carrying around my laptop, which is my main home CPU.

btw, I own no Microsoft products.

Unfortunately, I do. I do cross-platform development so I must test under various versions of Windows. Other than the OSs, nothing.

Powerpoint is what you believe is your only option? I thought Keynote was a more mac-friendly variation on the same kind of tool? I don't have personal experience with either, just pointing out the well known options.
