<quote> The beamer class is a LaTeX class that allows you to create a beamer presentation. It can also be used to create slides. It behaves similarly to other packages like Prosper, but has the advantage that it works together directly with pdflatex, but also with dvips. </quote> Personally, I think that it produces fantastic looking presentations (as PDF files --- use with Adobe acroread in full screen mode). You can do pretty much everything you can do with powerpoint, but the result is ohhhh, so much nicer. The docs are great, the author is fantastic at responding to user queries and there is some (clunky) support for it in LyX. Did I say I like it? :) -- Angus
