The Mobile Presenter

Now this is an odd one: In Keynote on the iPad, I was creating a list of bullet points (yeah, I know ...). I then decided to make some words bold to make them stand out more. But when I did that to the first word after the bullet point, the bullet point itself changed and became smaller. Huh?

Playing around with my new iPad, a thought struck me: Wasn't there something about Flash? Would I not be able to view my own presentations on Slideshare?

For years, my equipment for giving presentations was my trusty old iBook 12" (800 MHz, 640 MB of RAM), nicknamed "amalthea". I can't even remember how long I had it or how many presentations I gave with it. And then one day, a volcano erupted and in the ensuing chaos while travelling back from a conference, I managed to lose it.

So now I have to start looking for a replacement. But that's not as easy as it may seem, at least for me.
