Moose Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 I remember that Mac users used to joke that Bill Gates was the "artist" who created the infamous "Bean People" in the Microsoft Office Clipart gallery. To this day, I cringe whenever I see one of those idiotic things in a presentation! Come to think of it, I cringe whenever I see any PowerPoint presentation. What a lame piece of crapware! Thank God PowerPoint wasn't around in Lincoln's day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfanone Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 PowerPoint works for me. Quick and simple to put together a little presentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Like I needed some scientist to tell me that. Any dude who's worth a bazillion dollars, continues to work, and gets married AFTER making a couple of tons of cash DEFINITELY needs their head examined. If it were me, I'd own a tropical island stocked with young hot chicks who wouldn't be allowed to hang out past their 25th birthday. I'd give them a hundred grand and a private jet ride to the destination of their choice. Thanks for coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to tweak anything. 224466[/snapback] ... and to wonder why some people are "afraid" of computers... It's about as complicated as downloading and installing any other program. It has a word processor, a spreadsheet app (excel) and database app (access). They all work and are backwards compatible with all of the files in the Office suite. They are very streamlined. I really like each program. Oh, and it's 100% free, as opposed to hundreds of dollars for MS office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
