There was one sequence of slides where the font color was a little off, but it was legible. It wasn’t Keynote smooth, but it was extremely functional. The animations and bullet builds worked extremely well. Copied the PDF to the desktop, opened it in Acrobat, found Full Screen, clicked advance slide button on my clicker, and it just worked. Also plugged in the USB receiver for my presenter clicker. I transferred the PDF to my stick and put it in the Windows machine. There’s a little check mark about “Print each stage of builds.” I checked it, my heart rate slowed down. I got error messages saying something about “actions not supported.” That won’t do nearly every single one of my slides has actions (builds and animations). I relented and exported my presentation to PowerPoint. It turns out the projector does have a DVI! But my dongle didn’t work. The host did a good job of calming me down and he convinced me to work it out in the seminar room. No one in the relatively small department uses Macs so there’s no hope of borrowing a VGA dongle from someone. I brought the wrong dongle, DVI instead of VGA. My heart stopped, and then began to race. We went to lunch.įast forward to me getting my stuff together to go to the seminar room. I flippantly reassured him that, as long as there’s a VGA cable, it’ll be fine. My host saw my Mac and said, “um, er is there any way I can convince you to put your presentation on a stick and present from our computer?” I said, “Does the computer have Keynote?” No, of course it doesn’t.
