This is for anybody familiar with the "powerpoint" fmt docs/display,
        and the openoffice.org equivalent, Impress.  I have several dozen of 
files
        in several directories; each file (php or html--or can be xlated to xml)
        had one or two jpeg graphics.  

        What I would like to experiment with is to see if having my Jottings
        philosophical stuff in slideshow presentation.  My personal philosophy 
grew
        out of a disagreement with the bureaucrats in my home state (Ohio) who
        asserted that my physical disabilities made it impossible for me to 
become
        a productive member of society.  Similar bureaucrats in California just 
a
        few years later took a different slant, and over the years and with 
plenty
        of sweating over my engineering and comp-sci classwork---and obviously,
        when I started earning my salt---, I noted down a bunch of short pieces 
        that evolved into my "Jottings" thoughts.

        I've tried my best to de-nerd and de-geek this stuff, so that it
        encourages anyone and everyone who feels beat-up on by just-plain-life.
        Since this stuff has gone global, I've had lots of positive feedback.  
At
        the same time, back-of-envelope math has convinced me that it wouldn't 
pay
        to publish this in ink+paper.  So in addition to my jottings.thought.org
        website, have a push-button slideshow might encourage more people to 
give
        this a read ... or a listen.  If I can find a volunteer to read the 
stuff.

        I've tried to get firefox3 to show the demo here, but I'm evidently too
        too far out of date.  If there is a way of having OOo-3.01 use the 
writing
        portion and turn the files into Impress mode, that would be ideal.
        O/wise, it might turn into a sharp learning curve.  In any case, there 
are
        two questions for this list.  The first, obviously, is subjective and 
is:
        would having my stuff in slideshow fmt gain me a wider readership?  The
        second is:  anybody out there willing to clue me in on this stuff?
