       remote controls ...  ;-)
           well, to me remote controls are as silly as remote auto. windows
... ... ...  ;-)

       yes, I like walking ... I like horses ... I like front-porch
communication ...
           and yes, I guess I'll always refer to these machines as
'glorified typewriters'; was I born a hundred years too late  ;-)

Hi :)
There was something about being able to use Android phones as a remote
control device for running Impress slideshows.

       Huh ???

       I've been impressed with IMPRESS over MsFt's since I found it has
more options, including the ability to save to whatever;
            although saving to MsFt's loses some of those options - as
audio additions, and many of IMPRESS' transitional effects are also not
recognized by MsFt ...

       I don't understand the comment re. Android - I've heard the name,
along with these fruit-names, yet have not acquired any of these yet  ;-)

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.

Tom :)

      IMPRESS does more, has more options; and has been my favorite for
years;
          it also allows for saving to PP, etc. - for those who refuse to
leave MSFT  ;-)

Hello

Before possibly recommending LibreOffice to a friend who needs an office
suite for her personal use, I need to know how  good its Impress
component
is compared to PowerPoint.

She won't need to create very sophisticated slides, and won't need to
import
PowerPoint files. It's just to create some presentations for her class.
She
has regular office skills, she's not a geek.

If you have extensive experience with both PowerPoint and Impress, would
you
say Impress is good enough or still lacking?

Here's a review:
"Admittedly, PowerPoint still outperforms Impress, yet not by such an
extent
that the difference couldn't be overcome in a release or two. In fact,
the
lack of improvements in Impress over the last few years -- particularly
in
its audio capabilities -- suggests that for most users the deficiencies
are
unimportant."
