re "Show" I saw an ad for this new program in the new issue of the American Airlines magazine yesterday (returning from the Caribbean, gloat-gloat-gloat). I'd never heard of it before. From what I could gather from the ad, it takes PowerPoint presentations and makes them more interesting to look at, using your typical cool MCRE-style effects. Seems like a smart program, IMO. Assuming that the UI isn't too obtuse for the average PowerPoint user to figure out, that is. Could be a big if, IMO. But the idea is a good one, and it is another example of MCRE leveraging core technology into yet another app. Makes a lot of sense to me; they have all these neat-o graphic effects, and they're trying different areas to put them to use. Business presentations are certainly a new market for them! And a large one. Let's just hope they haven't crippled it with an interface that is too wacky for these people to use... I like it, from the idea; haven't seen the app yet, though. Have I missed press releases from the company, or has this ad just hit a bit prematurely?? -- Pete
