Ah, I see. No, I meant 'the way they're presented'. I think they are
pitching it as a better Powerpoint though in some ways. You can include all
sorts of media and also use it a bit like a blog. I thought it might be
worth looking into as a way of showing pictures and text together rather
like an old-fashioned magazine layout, with the possibility of using it like
something between a blog and an online travel journal. I've just mucked
around with it a bit to demonstrate that - buy my god it's painful on the
laptop - much easier on the ipad. 

Anyway, the conclusion seems to be that it's a load of crap, and I'm not
about to argue with that.

Ta,
