"but i can make the words fly in"

I think Powerpoint gets a bad rep. Its how its used that kills it. 1,000 words per slide and it all gets read to the audience.

obviously though there are better options for a stimulating presentation but a bad presenter can kill any form.

prezi ; or just make a slideshow of pictures

xojules - have to agree with shirky17 on this one. LOVE Prezi, GDocs, or even Animoto

nkrahn you're right. I am a minimalist at heart, so it pains me to see features used "because they can be"
