I’ve seen some people say they still use MORE to handle their presentations even to this day. In what way is MORE handier than PowerPoint? If you present directly from MORE I can see it maybe; although I don’t have much call to do presentations so I know nothing of MORE’s abilities, perhaps it has built-in commands that allow you to follow only a particular thread of the presentation depending on the context of something. That would be cool. Is that right? But even given this, you have the limitation that MORE’s multimedia capabilities are showing their age, right? There’s no way around this, is there?

Also, someone else said they export MORE presentations to pict, then import them into Quicktime. Perhaps then you can spruce it up graphically, but then why create the presentation in MORE in the first place. Wouldn’t PowerPoint work just as well there?
