Apple's Killer Feature (or one of them at least)



I've just had the pleasure of giving a big presentation using a Mac for
the first time and can't help thinking that Apple should do more to
promote the dual screen feature.

Having given countless presentations on PCs, the ability to view the
upcoming slide, plus the notes, countdown timer and clock on the Mac
while the audience just see the active slide really is fantastic. It
makes it so much easier to give a smooth, flowing presentation.

I can see huge numbers of PC notebook users rushing out to buy
Powerbokos if they knew just how great this feature is.

Sadly, I'm forced to use PowerPoint to prepare my presentations because
Keynote is just so problematic. On the other hand, I use Keynote to
present the PowerPoint presentations because it displays them with
hugely better quality and nicer transitions too. (is this because
Keynote uses the graphics engine better than PowerPoint?)
