Power Point with Palms
Margi’s - Presenter To Go - is a device which currently is supported by PC
computers and Mac computers running OS9. Margi is currently working on
this issue, and they say the answer is only weeks away! The tech folks at
Margi say an update will be on their website soon which will allow Mac
users to use Margi if you are running OSX version 10.2 or
newer. Unfortunately, there may not be a Margi answer for those of you
using OSX version 10.1. www.margi.com
One alternative is PitchSolo from Portsmith (now iGo). I have not used
this device myself, so I am requesting feedback from the PETC forum
regarding OSX compatibility. The people at iGo indicate there is no
problem, but this information came from the sales staff, as I was
unsuccessful reaching someone in tech support. You may want to investigate
this option, and I will provide additional information as it becomes
available. http://www.portsmith.com/products/presentation.shtml
One difference between the two: Presenter To Go doesn’t support
transitions between slides, but I have been told that PitchSolo supports
“limited” transitions.
