[iBook] alternative to powerpoint?

[William Wiseman]

Uh, unless it has improved recently, NO/J is somewhat Office X 
compatible and mostly stable. I find that between Pages and Appleworks, 
I can open most Word documents and I have not gotten a PP file yet that 
Keynote would not open.

I would recommend the Pages/Keynote software. I've switched from being 
a long-time Appleworks and WordPerfect user to Pages. I have never been 
a fan of Word.
