OpenOffice Impress is that same kind of point-and-click
presentation-making tool, and if you have to present on a computer
that hasn't yet figured out how to deal with OpenOffice, you can
save your presentation as a PDF presentation and use (PDF reader of
choice)'s fullscreen mode to give a presentation, or even save as
(*shudder*) MS-Powerpoint if absolutely necessary.

If you're less into the point-and-click thing, LaTeX has a markup
mode called Beamer that I think is pretty awesome for creating
really nice-looking PDF presentations. If you don't know what I'm
talking about, don't worry about it; it's probably not worth
learning a whole new way of doing things unless you're a closet
keyboard-only person.

Good luck with your presentation(s)!

Amy
