What a mixed week for the IT industry: Psion restructuring
their sales strategy and focussing on digital network solutions;
Marconi announcing 4,000 more job cuts and Microsoft revamping
their Windows package to allow fairer competition for rivals.
The Times also announced an annual charge for users of their
website - a first for any newspaper!

PowerPoint Resource Centre: Recycling your PowerPoint slides
------------------------------------------------------------
Frequent PowerPoint users probably produce a fair number of
PowerPoint slides in multiple shows. If you teach or present the
same material recurrently to different audiences, chances are
you'll have to copy slides between presentations or cut and paste
an entire new presentation together from several slide shows.
Find out how you can conserve effort by copying and reusing or
recycling your PowerPoint slides.
