But I do agree with you about PPT. *I use it for work all the time,
and have even used it on social occasions, including a "this is your
life" kind of effort for a friend's party. *It's a software package
well worth learning how to use.


You can get something very similar to PPT free by downloading and using Open
Office.www.openoffice.org/

Hear hear (or it is here here? I can never tell).
NOt only is it very similar, but you can actually open, work on and
save PPT docs with Open Office. I have both packages on my home PC,
and I actually find the OO equivalent of PPT a lot more intuitive to
use than the newer PPT version.
Now, I think I'll shut up, because we have veered way too far out of
gardening territory.
