We use a cross-platform remote solution at work. It has more controls than the Mac remote, plus it uses a radio signal so you can control it from much farther away, we had it working from over 40 feet away, down a hall and around the corner from the computer. Naturally, the downside is that it wasn't free.

Yes, Keynote is FAR nicer.

If I didn't need for my presentation files to work with PC users I'd be using Keynote exclusively, unfortunately that's not the case, which reminds me: Microsoft's version-to-version and platform-to-platform compatibility of Powerpoint files sucks donkey balls.

Certainly, major version releases of software can deprecate their forerunners, but it makes you feel like there's a really stupid lack of foresight when a program has to have a compatibility warning TOOL. I think that's probably the Mac fanboy in me sneaking out.

I have to say that the interface to create and control custom animations, while inelegant, does become navigable at speeed after constant use.

But so does wiping your ass.
