Life after Powerpoint

I've been spending the last couple of weeks using Keynote, which is Macs version of Powerpoint just a lot, lot better as you'd expect from the Apple guys. One of the great features is the ability to have two different views, one for the projector, and one for the presenter, which can include a timer, notes and the next slide, which is a huge leap forward for all you presenters out there that don't like using any form of written cues, which leads me to visuals. If you get a chance, look up Garr Reynolds of presentation zen fame, love his work  and is a fantastic example of how you can effectively use Powerpoint, or Keynote for that matter...
