Re: [libreoffice-users] How good is Impress compared to PowerPoint?

Hi :)
Have you checked your glasses for roses?  That is about the first time i have heard anyone saying 
they thought Impress is actually better in terms of functionality.  Especially going back a few 
years.  

I thought a lot of progress had been made over the last year and this new remote-control feature if 
it's on Gnu&Linux and you are using an Android all sounds intriguing.  
Regards from
Tom :)
