Evolutionary Dead End?

Since I posted on Office 2008 at the
weekend, I've had a chance to use PowerPoint
2008 seriously. The upshot of this usage is, if
you have a G4, don't bother, it's a laggard. On
either of the G4's (1.5GHz and 1.25GHz with
1.25Gb and 1Gb RAM respectively, both running
Tiger) it's significantly slower than PowerPoint
2004, and it gets worse the more graphics you
have in the presentation. Interface-wise, it is
a lot better and much more Mac-like. I guess the
newer Intel based Macs will be more than happy
with it, performance wise.
Of course, I'd prefer to be using Keynote, but PowerPoint is what I need to talk work.
Feeling pretty tired now, as I'm doing a lot of juggling at work (no, I'm not really employed as a clown, it just feels like it sometimes), and I'm looking forward to a few days off that I've booked this week! Need to confirm I can make TravCon 08, and sort out some stuff around the house. I guess it's time to end this now!
