Even though, by some measures, I’ve had a fairly hard life, there are times when I look back and realize, “I’ve only ever had to make, like, one Powerpoint presentation, and that was about sharks.” And thank god for that, because in my mind there is a tireless army of besuited executives flying around the globe giving Powerpoint presentations to each other, and as appealing as that may be, my two or three Red Roof Inn stays a year are plenty, thanks. But to this mythical corporate army, I imagine tools like the PageShot, a “portable presentation gizmo” that fits in the pocket and hooks up to any NTSC or PAL television (or projector) plus doubles as an MP3 player would be the sort of wundergadget that, say, a videogaming cameraphone with GPS and lasersword would be to me.
And yes, I use ‘Powerpoint’ in the Kleenex sense.
