[thelist] PowerPoint (ugh)

[spinhead]

I convert our PowerPoints to a JavaScript slide show. I've got some tools
and PhotoShop droplets that let me convert from raw *.ppt to web-ready
(gif/jpg with html/javascript) at a rate of about 1 minute per slide. It's
an alternative to real PowerPoint, but isn't dynamic.
