    The only sad thing here is the state that Office applications for
    Linux are in.

    Before the last talk I did, I was wrestling for a whole sunny and
    really nice saturday, where I could've done many better things that
    sitting in front of a computer, with KPresenter and StarOffice on my
    notebook to get at least some slides done. At 8pm I gave up, fired the
    Win NT box of my wife and had about twenty slides done with PP in just
    under two hours (I had the text and images ready on paper and had just
    to create slides). They looked well on screen, on the presentation
    beamer and printed in colour _and_ black and white. SO and KPresenter
    both were able to do two of these four things.

    My last LinuxExpo talk was also made with PP, but I did't have the
    courage to boot up a notebook with Windows in front of all the Free
    Software guys to do a "migrate from Windows to Unix" talk. So I took
    printed slides. Yeah, call me a chicken. :-)

    Regards
