A little footnote: my wife reminded me that she has had a number of
occasions when her powerpoint ppt files created with Mac Office did not
appear properly on Windows Office machines (during presentations!).
Makes us want to buy our own projector and just always use her iBook to
have a complete turnkey system for presentations. One major problem with
one of her ppt's had me spending a lot of time thinking it was
OpenOffice until I found the same problem on Windows. Had something to
do with some Adobe feature on Mac but not on Windows that Mac powerpoint
depends on when handling images...
