If anyone has down loadable stuff in eg format OK with
	/usr/ports/misc/magicpoint
I'd grab it & use it.

As I'm British & in Germany, & businesmen aren't techies fluent in
English, it'd be enough work doing the verbal in German, & maybe
translating slides, without actually mastering the presentation
too, so I dont want to master something. (& we only need one person
or team to master, & it should be listed on a central index of
advocacy resources etc)

PS Re. Powerpoint. I wouldn't risk doing the main presentation in
that.  I would be prepared to do a short extra demo presentation
under emulation though, if viable, As suits would also be interested
in ease of use of other MS similar/compat. format & tools etc, such
as PP (Yawn!).
