Re: [applekeynote] Presentation Zen

Bill:

I am glad you posted the URL for the book. It is very hard week after
week and 2 Sermons a Sunday to the same audience to come up with
something innovated. I admit I get into a rut of bullet points and go.
I have bought backgrounds and templates, this package and that one.
Still run out of creative idea. I ordered that book and the one "Why
Most PowerPoint Presentations Suck" will see what that one brings as
well. It had gotten good reviews.
