It has to be a gift! Richard Stallman is the opposite, both on podium 
and in person. Not good PR for FSF.

That hit me too. I've been using PP or OO "just because", never really 
thinking. But there are some advantages to using "a straight, long 
document".

It's a /lot/ faster to create the presentation. You don't have to split 
stuff into screenfulls (or fight with the presentation software!) And 
once on stage, scrolling back is way easier and faster! And you can 
sroll to exactly where you want, instead of to the nearest screenful.

Heh, now I can say "if it's good enough for Walter Bright on a big butt 
guru forum, I can use it, too!"
