Unfortunately we allowed our slide copier to go to the skip. But cipying them in that way is a good way of doing it.

The point about powerpoint is. as Andy suggests, is to avoid the features which make it a tool much used by unimaginative lecturers on management. Used as a method of showing and blending pictures, it is a marvellous tool. My Epson projector has pride of place while my Rollei sits gathering dust.
