[iBook] alternative to powerpoint?

[gooddog at interlync.com]

I never have understood this idea that if something costs money, it's 
of less value. I would say that you get what you pay for most of the 
time.

It takes one to know one. I spent too many years worrying about 
infinitely detailed, meaningless, and insignificant comparisons in 
order to save 5 cents. It's like all these people who will drive 25 
miles to save 2 cents on a gallon of gas, and burn up more than what 
they save to get there. It's not worth the time or effort. If you get a 
deal. Great. If you don't. Enjoy what you have. There is a hidden cost 
on an unseen level to this kind of thinking. Life is way too short.

Here's a great Oscar Wilde quote that sums up this idea quite well:

A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything but the value of 
nothing.
