I GIVE UP, I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!

[paragraphs]

I have to go buy ANOTHER copy of Word 2007. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME!

The first was stolen by The Little Jerk Thief, and the second, well--I have ripped my room and desk apart, and fail to find it, ANYWHERE!!!

So I will buy another. A third. That is ANOTHER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS!!!!! I have tried to deal with Wordperfect, which I love, but it doesn't talk with Word 07 very well, and I have Word 03 at work, and and and... I am frustrated! And my son really really needs it for the next semester. He's made do without it but really needs Powerpoint at home.

So. I give. Merry Christmas to me...this is what I'll spend my Christmas bonus on, I suppose.

Whee.

C, shivering in bed with Maddox at my feet, rereading old writing, and resurrecting one of them

Open Office does have something like Powerpoint, they call it Presentation under the sub menu :)

Ah. I see it. You can tell how often I worry about it -- the only powerpoint stuff I do is for work and is on the work laptop. *grin*

I personally dislike Powerpoint but I acknowledge that the white collar world is addicted to it *chuckle*

Sadly, yes. Most of the courses my company runs are done by an instructor on a stage in front of a couple of dry-erase boards. Mine is the only one currently that runs with powerpoint. The problem is, more and more hotels are having difficulty maintaining the size boards we need, so it looks like all of our classes will go to powerpoint soon.
