Actually, PDF is a remarkably good format to use for presentations when 
you're not presenting from a known machine.   Acrobat Reader is 
practically universally available and works as needed in fullscreen 
mode.  Plus, LaTeX is really the easiest way to create a good, notation 
heavy presentation which really only leaves you PS or PDF as an output 
format.
