  Great presentations! ... when I saw the numbers of the slides, I thougth twice before click, but it’s amazing that take me less them five minutes. So objetive and concise. Thank you for share!

  Love the detail and the clear thought process

  People have communicated ideas without the benefit - or hindrance - of Slideware since we first came down from the trees. Have something worth saying and stand up and say it - it’s an age-old tradition.
  
  I facetiously suggest using anything from Pony Express or Skywriting - precisely because, as McLuhan said, in many cases the medium is the message. 6 people sitting around a coffee table with a lengthy report. 200 people with post-it notes and lots of gophers, 1 loudhailer passed from hand to hand.
  
  Take your pick. But if you’ve got nothing to say, no tool is going to help you. Focus on your purpose, your message and your audience and you won’t go far wrong. Once you are clear on those, the right tool will become apparent.
  
  Hope that helps.

  What kind of tool do you use, if not PPoint?

  I’d use 1067 slides - if they made the point. People get so hung up on slide numbers still. The human eye is comfortably capable of dealing with 25 frames per second. Most of the slides in my presentations are only on screen for a brief moment - and the ones on SlideShare suffer from having to have drop-in text slides to substitute for my usual rapid-fire narration.
  
  I would typically deliver this piece in under 15 minutes, as part of a day-long session on presentation skills. I hope that explains my thinking.
