[iBook] alternative to powerpoint?

[David Linker]

In addition to Keynote which costs money, and OpenOffice, which costs 
nothing but only runs in X11, there is NeoOffice/J which costs nothing 
and runs natively in OS X, and includes word-processing, spreadsheet, 
presentation, and drawing, all office compatible.
