Another concept
We have several guys who use a Mind Mapping tool to present their info. In this case MindManager although there are many other options such as FreeMind, XMind and the Brain.
A presentation using a mind map shows the evolution of the idea and thought processes rather than flat facts. It is not for every situation but can be a much better way to present your ideas - especially if this is a work in progress.
One of the guys actually takes his meeting notes as a mind map so that it give more info on how the team reached a decision rather than a one line statement in isolation.
PowerPoint has it's place and can be very effective in the right hands. One thing that transforms it is to use a cordless presenter (20-30 sterling) that allows the presentation to be advanced remotely. This allows the presenter freedom to move around and talk flowingly without having to run back to the PC. Most devices have laser pointers and some have addtional features like presentation blackout (stop looking at the screen and listen to me!) and can give timers with vibrate alerts at 5 and 2 minute to end.
