Presentation software

[TXEX96]

Power Point is good, but most of my clients are computer illiterate and have trouble installing viewer to watch it. The last one I did using Front Page. The good points are that it will pretty much run on anything without the client needing to install software, and It's easy to auto launch from a cd. The negatives are I don't know enough to do more than ad a few strategic animated gifs and some video.
I want to make something flashy and professional that will run on the majority of cpu's out there.
I'm up to learning whatever I need to learn. Anyone have any suggestions?

If you were wondering what I'm doing on hornfans this time of night on a Sunday it's because I have to catch a plane in a couple of hours and figured it would be easier just to stay up and sleep on the 5 hour flight.

Flash may be the answer for you.
It will run in most browsers and can do everything pp and fp can and then some.

Here's an apparently free program, powerbullet, that simplifies making basic flash presentations.The Link I'm sure there are others.

Here's a tutorial about how to create a basic presentation using Flash5:The Link

Convert your powerpoints to html - upload them to a nice server and you can access them through the web anywhere. Or burn the html off to a CD.

One note on power bullet - I tested this software awhile back and it's rather clunky, if you know what I mean. It's not powerpoint or Flash by any stretch.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. Vancouver was great-- now it's back to work.
