Greetings all,

This is not a DEC/DU question so apologies for what may be
considered noise but...

My colleagues and I use all the lovely document and presentation
wares familiar to Unix people - xfig, ps, eps, latex etc.
Now my boss, who is ordinarily a nice man, has fallen in love with
powerpoint on his laptop and thinks that it would be lovely if
we all joined in the powerpoint user base so we could swap slides
and point and clique.
Microsoft and I get along like Count Dracula and sunlight so I
need to find an alternative slideshow that runs on Unix.
We have plenty of Unix laptops so with the right tools I could
drive a stake through the heart of powerpoint before my boss
sprouts pointy teeth. Any suggestions?
