Keynote is a Monster
I bought Apple's Keynote for my upcoming presentations. As I began to install it - the System Requirements caught my eye:
- Power Mac G3 or G4, PowerBook G4, eMac, iMac or iBook with 500 MHz or faster processor (Power PC G4 recommended)
- Mac OS X v 10.2 or later (Mac OS X version 10.2.6 recommended)
- 128 MB of RAM (512 MB recommended)
- 8 MB of video memory (32 MB recommended)
- 1 GB of available disk space
1 GB of disk space?! Jeez - this sucker is huge! There's really no reason to complain since I have plenty of space - this is just the largest install I've seen in quite some time.

Ryan - it was only $69 - that's a cheap piece of software in my book. Besides, I've never used Open Office, so why start now? ;-) Yeah, I should probably look into using it someday. Is its presentation software better than Keynote or PowerPoint though? I doubt it. I also heard it's slower than molasses in January on OS X.
