Hi Bryan,

To be honest I've noticed no discernible difference(s).  however, I simply 
opened a powerpoint presentation, went into slideshow mode and then discovered 
that it was still lousy.

Sory I can't be more possitive,

 Hello Donal,
 
 Thank you for your feedback. I'm interested in your comments regarding the 
 accessibility limitations in Keynote. I'm not yet a heavy Keynote User, but I 
 did notice that the recent 5.1.1 update included a mention of improved 
 accessibility and am wondering if the slide show or any other access issues 
 were addressed in this update. Apple, as usual, seems to offer no details 
 regarding the improvements, so I'm hoping someone familiar with the product 
 and it's shortcomings might be able to opine on this.
 
 Cheers,
 Bryan
