Apple does too aggressively retire old technologies. I see that in Apple clients all the time. http://chimac.net/2011/07/08/the-3-competitive-advantages-apple-enjoys-and-the-rest-of-us-suffer-with/ This echos something I wrote below.

KeyNote has its faults, too. One to check out would be OpenOffice presentation software. It's an amazing alternative to PP or KN when one considers price... it's FREE!

Switching to Mac meant ditching Powerpoint for something much better and adding Aperture to one of the applications I use much. Took some time to find the perfect text editor, the best FTP client and some other tools, but the switch was way easier than feared. I kept my old IBM box as a backup for a couple of presentations, but now my backup is a copy on the memory stick. The MacBook has let me down once. On a projector that had a bad VGA cable, missing the green cable. The person with the windows box before me was able to force a signal out to it, but the MacBook refused to switch to the projector when it had no sync. At that point I didn't have the VGA amplifier. That might have solved it. Anyway, the MacBook is still way more reliable than my old IBM Thinkpad. And believe me, that old X31 Thinkpad was one reliable and tough machine.

I got it a couple of years ago, and it has NEVER failed. I don't think I dare to switch to Mac, to afraid to use to much time on learning something so basic as a workstation. I know its stupid. Did you keep your old machine as well Eirik? Thats the only way i would feel safe I think. I simply have to agree that the Logitech Cordless Presenter is fantastic.
