My term project in Computing III had to be a PowerPoint presentation
(now *that* is what I call degradation, we dropped from C to Microsoft
Office. Drats!). It took me about an hour to come up with a decent
presentation on the topic of (hold your breath) POV-Ray. I see no
reason why it should take anyone else any longer than that. It's all
point-and-click stuff.

I didn't know this.

This shouldn't be too much of a problem as the gallery would
provide a computer. File size is a problem in general, I think.

I have used PowerPoint to make presentations about rocks and minerals over the
summer.  It's good for displaying words, still pictures and animations.
