Slide Show on OS X

[Dan Shafer]

Worse yet, on Powerbooks, those keys don't do cut-copy-paste things  
but rather control the display and sound. DUmb. APple used to know  
how to do consistent interfaces. It was their big secret weapon. Now  
it's just a big secret.

Or perhaps a weapon of mass delusion.

Dan, who is tired from organizing the conference and probably not  
nearly as funny as he thinks.
