My pick for Windows – Microsoft Office 2007, Mac – Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac or Keynote (used by Steve Jobs) and Linux – OpenOffice. While commercial office suites are expensive, they offer the best editing and multimedia tools in my opinion. However, if you cannot purchase a commercial office suite, you may want to download the popular free office suite – OpenOffice at <a href="http://www.openoffice.org">www.openoffice.org</a>.</li> <li>Kensington Wireless Presenter - $54.77 at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-Wireless-Presenter-Pointer-Built/dp/B002E3AI0I/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&amp;s=electronics&amp;qid=1264072007&amp;sr=8-5" target="_blank">Amazon.com</a></li> </ul> <p>Although they seem obvious, these are the bare essentials. Any other tools are an added bonus (although this will suffice). You may want to purchase a small projector as well if there aren’t any projectors at the presentation location. You can find several projectors on Amazon.com starting at a few hundred Dollars.</p> <p>Once you have setup the above, you’re ready to begin working on your presentation.</p> Nagarjun Palavallihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06849824600773396059noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3770935057688168362.post-69442318907132721862010-01-18T23:56:00.001+05:302010-01-18T23:56:28.149+05:30<p>There’s no doubt that Steve Jobs is one of the greatest presenters in the world.
