Thanks for all the helpful advice. Because of a downturn in the Macska economy, Mr. Macska will have to make do with his PocketPC + my desktop for at least a few months.
I have tried it and I agree it isnt quite there. Im still experimenting with it. I am also trying to work up some combination of PDAs and accessories to do it but not completely successful.
Would it make a difference if he put the powerpoint on a pen drive and then ran it off his colleague's laptop? At least one of his colleagues will have a laptop with them when they travel.
Mr. Macska never used his laptop on the plane (I won't even address Mr. Furious's comment
)
