To learn, your audience has to do an effort, be it via a dynamic presentation or not. But not so when you're selling: it has to go in like sweet pie. I'm talking power presentations of half an hour here, after which self called very important men take million dollar decisions in a few minutes. If you're the 'beneficiant' of such decisions, you really crave for a swift and dazzling presentation solution. Just to make their pain short and entertaining, because their real decision was already made before your presentation. Through politics and lobbying f.i. Not that I like that. On the contrary. But such goes life ATM. Sonny, let me know whenever your collegue develops an operational program: a fast drag and drop system with real video transitions, easily adjustable audio and graphics, and sequencing command possibilities would be very welcome. For PC that is: Mac is great, but you don't always have the possibility to present from your own laptop. I wish it were not the case, but something you drop on a memory stick to be plugged in a Windows system is still more the standard.
