[iBook] alternative to powerpoint?

[Gary Archer]

I've been using Pages and to a less extent keynote in an almost pure  
Windows workplace.  While I really like pages, its export  
compatibility to windows or HTML needs much more work --- I've been  
bitten by it several times mostly around the handling of figure  
placement and list indention.  What I've resulted to doing is  
actually exporting to PDF which works for most folks who need to  
review my documents anyway.

I've had less problems with Keynote 2.0 then I did with 1.x -- where  
it shines for me is the very nice slide show mode, where my laptop  
has a complex view of the current/next slide, notes and timers while  
the external output (e.g. to a lcd projector) has the full screen  
show -- Many times I've just imported a standard PP w/o needing to  
change anything and it looks just great.
