I agree that such still is the best presentation technique, Sonny.
But in a limited time, large audience situation (and they do occur),  
this just isn't possible.
In that case, something like PowerPoint is needed. Or anything that  
is better if existing.
Such as Keynote. But that still can't do what somebody with a bit of  
imagination would like to do.*
I see a lot of them and I have seldomly seen a good screen  
presentation. Except for All Gore's one.
But that was a multimedia presentation, and that takes a bit more  
time (and budget) than most of us who have to do (and make)  
presentations can spare.
Hence my frustration.
Therefore: Avid Light, Adobe Premiere or iMovie (or anything with a  
graphical interface), but with a timing module. That would suit me well.

Sorry if I was unclear.

Philippe

* So -as much as somebody would like to make it interesting- these  
kind of presentations tend to be boring, anyway.
