Austin Improv

I posted on LJ asking for some help yesterday, but nobody replied. I have a presentation due tomorrow for my Canadian Lit class. I need to use a Powerpoint presentation, or some equivalent.

I don't know anything about anything about that kind of stuff. I thought that my Mac has PowerPoint, but apparently I have to buy it, and needless to say, I can't afford it.

Does anyone know some kind of thing that I can do to create a series of stills that I can... I don't even know how to ask this well.

I need to show my class pictures while I talk. How can I do that?

OpenOffice has a free powerpoint-type of application.

They seem to have a mac version available.

Google Docs does presentations now. I think you can export them as html.

Has Pgraph considered a roving improv computer technical support service?

Thanks much, halfgraph... I'm going to immediately investigate those and see what happens.

You might also already have Keynote (Apple's Powerpoint alternative) installed on your machine - it's super-slick, and pretty easy to learn, too.

HOLY SHIT! I do have Keynote! I've never even heard of it, but it's been in my system all along! Thanks Matt!!

In that case, check out Pages (aka Word) and Numbers (aka Excel) for your future office-productivity needs
