I HATE powerpoint with every fiber of my being. Powerpoint is a crutch and it's becoming ubiquitous. I wouldn't complain so much if, instead of boring-ass slides people somehow got in their head to incorporate scantily clad women into their presentations. But Powerpoint sucks the life out of nearly everything it touches.
How many meetings have y'all gone to where the presenter simply read from his/her laptop exactly what you could read yourself on the screen? I have had professors who's lectures consist of nothing but reading from lame powerpoint slides. And I work for the government so there is no end to commitee meetings and such.
Powerpoint replaces real charisma and communications skills with checkerboard entrances for bullet-points. I know this is for a class and you have to do it, but in real life, when assigned or asked to give a presentation use Powerpoint if you want to do the least amount of work that will keep you from being fired. Give a real presentation if you want to deliver something remotely compelling.

Well...I just looked at it. Pretty good. I don't get any sound. I noticed that you used the MAME logo, which will probably get you sued by that logo's owner, Ultracade.

One quick point:
I would do a quick schematic simplifying the "see thru" cabinet showing the CP Controls, the keyboard encoder, the PC & the Monitor, so a NEWBIE (which I be) can see how it works.
Just a thought..

Yeah. Using it is one thing. Try printing one of those things. Very frequently at work, I get 200mb powerpoint files with only a small amount of pages because the customer doesn't properly resize the gigantic logo he/she put on every page. The subsequent postscript file usually comes to about 1.5Gb.
When these middle-management types go to their 1 day Microsoft CertifiedTM, they should at least learn how to re-scale graphics properly, which is the main problem we have with our PP files.
Crap :(

I wish MS would teach them something useful there. Like not to use PP.

Did my PowerPoint I found one flaw while giving the presentation :-\ In the slide that list the upcoming titles I had "adding some software" rather than "adding some software"......
teacher instructor didn't notice ;D
gave me a perfect score ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
one more week of classes then off to the next semester.......

"adding some software"
rather than
"adding some software"

I still don't notice.

It's a poor carpenter that blames his tools. Power Point doesn't make for bad presentations. Bad presenters do.

A rich carpenter can afford to use Macromedia's Director.

I think PP is like anything else it can be a great tool or used by a tool. As a chemist you need PP to give seminars to convey information. That being said I have sat through a lot of presentations where people cram a million bits of information on a single slide or cover the lack of substance in their presentation with over the top graphics and animation.
