Power Point

[MamaBush]

[color=magenta]Okay all you computer nerds.....can anyone tell me if I can find power point on the web for FREE?? For some reason, when I bought my computer (was my first one, was very computer illiterate at the time) I didn't know what power point was, never heard of it, didn't ask if my package deal included it. [/color]
[color=#ff00ff][/color]
[color=#ff00ff]I DO NOT HAVE IT[/color]
[color=#ff00ff][/color]
[color=#ff00ff]Everyone I've spoken to with Windows XP home, says power point came with their system. I have just about every other fucking program that Windows has...but NOT POWER POINT.[/color]
[color=#ff00ff][/color]
[color=#ff00ff][/color]
[color=#ff00ff]I have an assistive technology class this term, and we HAVE to do a power point presentatioin with a program called INSPIRATION.[/color]
[color=#ff00ff][/color]
[color=#ff00ff][/color]
[color=#ff00ff][/color]
[color=#ff00ff][/color]
[color=#ff00ff]Is it possible that I may have it, SOMEWHERE???[/color]
[color=#ff00ff][/color]
[color=#ff00ff][/color]
[color=#ff00ff]When I search my system, nothing comes up for power point.[/color]
[color=#ff00ff][/color]
[color=#ff00ff]Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated....:kiss: [/color]

[font=Arial Narrow][size=3][color=orange]If you didn't order it with your computer, then you probably don't have it. I think between Zoks and I we could probably hunt a copy down at a geek site. (not making any promises):) [/color][/size][/font]

[zokah]

If you only want the viewer it's free from Microsux (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=428d5727-43ab-4f24-90b7-a94784af71a4&displaylang=en) - 1900kb
If you want to create them I think you need M$ office, I'm not 100% sure cos I have uninstalled it but I don't know of any other programs that can create the files
Buying office isn't cheap unless you know where to shop and then you run into security issues when you need M$ updates unless it's installed on a box not used for the net
Nothing that could open powerpoint files with my legal copy of XP home so I just installed the 97 version I already had I don't use it enuff to even bother upgrading
If you need any info on where to find a cheper version of office PM me

[MamaBush]

sheeeeeesh


thanks guys. Maybe I'll just do it on the kid's puter at work. Which is also funny...since all the other teachers have it on their computers....all but ME.


what is it with power point and me???

[zokah]

so I take it you've gotta create a PPP? good luck and I can't offer any help

[wutangstan]

I didn't have pp on my comp either, got it now like, and I use it at least, oooooooooh never.

[Gnome]

I end up doin lots of graphics for marketing/sales/engineering for them to drop into their presentations.

It's tought to quelch the urge to put something ""Invigorating"" into the art :)

[MamaBush]

Believe me, I do not want power point on my computer, because I know that as soon as I'm done with my Master's degree, I'll never use it again.

Just found out today, that the power point on my kid's computer at work doesn't work any longer either...........SO NOW WHAT THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO DO FOR THIS FUCKING CLASS PROJECT???




stoopid bitch of a professor......and she IS stoopid. Sooo very unorganized and flakey.

[zokah]

ask someone nicely to encode it for you?

[MamaBush]

I have no clue what it means to "encode" it

[zokah]

it means you supply what you want in it and somebody else then puts it all together as a PPP (powerpointpresentation) file

[i`m a wannabe]

if its from micro$oft it sucks

[Gnome]

Proof that smoking pot and writing code is a bad idea...

[elmtree]

[font=Arial Black][size=3][color=orange]Looks like they're from one of those Gated Hippie Communes[/color][/size][/font]

[i`m a wannabe]

they are probably bill gates mates in micro$ux

[zokah]

the little dickhead in the left front will never amout to much

[Gnome]

I'd like to tattoo Blue Screen error messages across his forehead.

[zokah]

it's not big enuff to fit even the most common in 6pt type

[i`m a wannabe]

they all look like left overs from woodstock

[MamaBush]

[QUOTE=Gnome]I'd like to tattoo Blue Screen error messages across his forehead.[/QUOTE]I have never gotten the "blue screen error message"...what exactly is that?

[zokah]

You mean ur 'puta has never crashed on you or you've never needed to press alt ctrl del?
you must be using Linux :D

just so you know what the rest of us suffer

[i`m a wannabe]

i could suffer with the first pic without any drama

[MamaBush]

No, my puter has never crashed and I have never gotten one of those messages.....had my system for a little over 3 years.


I do not use Linux....what is that?

[i`m a wannabe]

linux is another operating system and doesnt crash like micro$ux does

[i`m a wannabe]

i got a linux cd here but pointless using it at home cant use games on it and you get limited amount of compatible software for it

[zokah]

I do have it on dualboot on my other box but I don't find much use for it unless I'm being attacked

What sort of system do you have Mama?
If it's microsux safe I gotta get me 1 of them :D

[MamaBush]

Ummm, all I know is I have Windows XP.

I do have Norton Internet security as well as Norton Antivirus....and Spyware X terminator to get rid of and block all them pesky key loggers and spyware shit...




But..I have seriously NEVER had my system crash....YET

[Gnome]

[QUOTE=MamaBush]I have never gotten the "blue screen error message"...what exactly is that?[/QUOTE]
Typically what will happen for me is I will be working on critical artwork that is funneled into a very tight deadline. Not too much room for me screwing up let alone my workstation. Then at about 90% of completion I will get the blue screen and it possibly corrupts the files I've been working on. Out of pure nessesity I do redundant backup of all critical art so I'm not completly screwed.

But it cost a lot of time.

And reaffirms my notion that I need to go Mac.

[i`m a wannabe]

microsux is what it is

[zokah]

I thought that Macs were the preference for graphics?

[i`m a wannabe]

maybe gnomey works for a cheap arse company

dude!! that's happened to me so so soooo many times...now i just click save every 5 minutes when I'm working on word or excel

[zokah]

it usually only happens to me when I'm ripping multiple pr0n sites, usually with passes from irc so I can't get them again

[MamaBush]

Okay.........EXPLAIN how that happens and why it's never happened to me????

[zokah]

why it's never happened to you I have no idea just plenty of envy

I think it's often a case of overloading the memory. Try encoding a vid while surfing the net and having a couple of other programs open at the same time like making a gif

[xen]

or rather try not doing it...if your comp doesn't freeze or crash you're part of a teeny tiny minority...don't tempt fate.

[LTDunltd]

I just DL a PPP and I don't have Power Point on my comp either.:(

so now it's off to find a DL site to get it free.:)


and as xen said, if your's hasn't crash yet, consider your self one of the lucky few. for me it's mostly crashes from heat, running 6 -8 programs and my media player going full volume over heats my cpu:(

[zokah]

I posted the link to M$ for it

[LTDunltd]

found it and will start DL when I head off to work.

[i`m a wannabe]

with this AMD i have so far i have never had a crash,just a slow down when way too many apps are running at the same time

[wutangstan]

I ain't saying nothing, I don't wanna tempt fate.

[MamaBush]

ahh cool Zokah, thanks......I'll do that this weekend while I'm busy....um...busy.......



GETTING NASTY.......AGAIN





shit, this is my lucky month. *grins*


There have been times that I've had a few programs running, plus downloading music, and it's never crashed....but it does run slow as molasses at those times.....and I do get kicked off the internet every now and again.

[MamaBush]

[QUOTE=zokah]I posted the link to M$ for it[/QUOTE][color=magenta]now all I gots da to is find the link :D [/color]

[i`m a wannabe]

[QUOTE=wutangstan]I ain't saying nothing, I don't wanna tempt fate.[/QUOTE]


in my early days of a pentuim 200 it crashed a few times but this AMD after 2 years so far so good and the AMD before this one no probs either

[xen]

you just jinxed yerself...../waits while wannabe reboots :D

[i`m a wannabe]

sucko havent rebooted :p this thing will run 24/7 if need be

[Gnome]

[QUOTE=zokah]I thought that Macs were the preference for graphics?[/QUOTE]

They generaly are for Illustrator/ Photoshop work and desktop publishing, or at least the Macs ruled that industry early on. But nowadays the same apps work just as good and just as fast. Macs are more user freindly for most graphic artist who dont want to mess with the tech on occasion.

PC seems to be the platform of choice however for CAD and 3D animation work.

I've always prefered PC's

But then theres Silicon Graphics workstations....droool.....

[MamaBush]

Yo Gnome.....are you like a computer geek or sumpin???



Looks like I know who to go to when I have tech questions from now on *smile*

[zokah]

I've been told a bit about p/shop 9 with the "Creative Suite" is it worth spending the time to find a cracked version? I've seen 1 so far but from people who's .RARs are password protected and the frigging passes they give will never open them - and I've never found a brute force tool that can crack RARs. There are plenty of places with patches for v9 though .......shit I need my :rngpirt: smiley and it's not here

[xen]

ok this is getting way too technical for me....

ooh mama...i've got a joystick here you can play with....

[zokah]

Mama, the path you'll need to follow if you do wanna is:

Start>all programs>accessories>accessibility>magnifier

[xen]

that's only if she wants to take a look at your brain.....

[zokah]

nope, you still don't win

[xen]

ok just noticed that I have powerpoint on my comp. How do i link it here?

[zokah]

the full thing or just the viewer?

[i`m a wannabe]

you want me to try to get it from mainland china?

[Gnome]

[QUOTE=MamaBush]Yo Gnome.....are you like a computer geek or sumpin???

Not really a computer geek, I mean I just know enough to really fuck things up.

But I use graphics software all the time. In fact, one could say too much time.

[MamaBush]

People in my class said that I can get a 30 day free trial of power point...gonna look into it probably tomorrow, along with the 30 free trial of the stupid INSPIRATION program that the professor demands we use for that project as well......






Okay....gots to go play with Xen's joy stick for a while....oooooo, look, it GROWS when I touch it *grins*

[xen]

well they don't call it a joystick for nothing ya know..;)

[zokah]

give me the link for the trial of PP and I'll prolly be able to find a crack that removes the limitations ;)

[xen]

[QUOTE=zokah]the full thing or just the viewer?[/QUOTE]

the full thing. I tried e-mailing it to mama but it doesn't work...

[zokah]

you'd prolly need the .exe files otherwise you'd need to include all the .dlls etc
how big was what you tried emailing?


Wanna: tnx for the offer but I can find a cracked version if I really want it, what else is P2P for :D

[xen]

i sent her the .exe file but there was some problem with .dll

what is .dll??

[Gnome]

dynamic link library

/geekcheck

[zokah]

which you can find in either C:system or more probably C:system32. It's highly likely that she will require more than 1 dll

/geekcheck2

[MamaBush]

sheeesh.....this is all too confusing


fucking professor expecting us to download all this fucking shit for her stupid ass class that we're learning nothing from because she's so fucking unorganized that we're already a day behind her own fucking syllabus.....FUCK.



I'm going to look for that free trial of power point now, if it actually exists, I'll post a link here for you Zokah...but like I said, I really don't want to keep that program on my puter anyway....aint like I'm going to use it ever again.

[MamaBush]

FUCK......CAN'T THEY MAKE THIS EASY???


I don't understand half of what they're saying, and most of the powerpoint shit isn't free at all.....maybe I'll just do it all at school next week, leave work early one day and do it all at one time on their computers.....STUPID FUCKING SHIT

[Gnome]

I found during my education career few instructors who could teach me anything useful or new that you couldn't get just from reading a book.

Hey Mama try calling the local Kinkos copy center (if you have one or similar) they have computers for rent sometimes and may have PP on one. Mebe.

[MamaBush]

Well, I did learn a lot when I was getting my two Bachelor's degrees....but with this Master's program, I've learned NOTHING new. Perhaps that's because I've been teaching for several years already...I dunno.


Nah, I aint gonna rent a computer, I'll use the programs at school....or maybe the MIS department will finally fix my student's computer in the classroom before the project is due and I'll do it on that computer. Our MIS department sucks ass by the way.

[Gnome]

crappy IT tech support is so wrong. The best situ is when you have top notch puter geeks that you can sway for favor. Homebrew is useful for leverage no doubt about it.

I would like to get some kind of rudimentary skill going in Excel. Our engineers and math people use it a lot, and do amazing things. I'm clueless. I mean these folks balance their checkbooks, design games, calculate their investments and do shopping list with it all on the same page!

I can format a cell...woot!

[MamaBush]

HAHAHAHAHA....THANKS FOR THE LAUGH GNOME

[MamaBush]

[color=magenta]Well......I finally found a 60 day free trial offer for Microsoft Office Standard, that does have the power point package included.[/color]
[color=#ff00ff][/color]
[color=#ff00ff][/color]
[color=#ff00ff]but get this.....[/color]
[color=#ff00ff][/color]
[color=#ff00ff][/color]
[color=#ff00ff][/color]
[color=#ff00ff]at 216 MB, it was going to take just over 20 hours to download....[/color]
[color=#ff00ff][/color]
[color=#ff00ff][/color]
[color=#ff00ff][/color]

[size=6][color=#ff00ff][/color][/size]
[color=#ff00ff]I'm thinking that I should start it downloading before I go to bed, internet traffic should be a little slower at that time, and maybe it'll be done downloading by the time I get up in the morning.[/color]
[color=#ff00ff][/color]
[color=#ff00ff]Have any of you guys ever done that? Downloaded while you are away, or I suppose you all have LIGHTING FAST INTERNET SERVICE, RIGHT???[/color]

[xen]

erm...

/whistles innocently.....

[i`m a wannabe]

[QUOTE=zokah]Wanna: tnx for the offer but I can find a cracked version if I really want it, what else is P2P for :D[/QUOTE]


no probs..just thought i would ask as the wife returns in 2 weeks and that also means more work at home with the business in china:rolleyes:

[zokah]

[QUOTE=MamaBush][color=magenta]
[color=#ff00ff]Have any of you guys ever done that? Downloaded while you are away, or I suppose you all have LIGHTING FAST INTERNET SERVICE, RIGHT???[/color][/QUOTE]

I use to do it all the time when I had dial-up, it was the only way to get full vids or appz like photoshop. It sucked when I was automatically disconnected after 5 hours.
So start b4 bed and leave it running all day then it'll be finished by the time you get home. Or d/l @ school or internet cafe and burn it to a CD

[MamaBush]

Well, I let it run until I went to bed...got 10% of it downloaded. Will do the same thing when I get home tonight. Would leave it running while I'm at work today, but they're predicting thunderstorms with lightning.....don't need something happening to my system due to the storm.


I personally think this is all funny as hell......STUPID PROFESSOR *laughs like a crazy person*

[xen]

well good luck with the project mama...wish I could do more to help.

[MamaBush]

You tried, that's all that matters.


Oh, I don't think I ever told you what my presentation is going to be...it's going to be about STDs. With big ass STD pics to boot. Gonna use the PP thingie this summer when I teach sex ed to my kids....may as well use it since this has been such a fucking headache

[xen]

maybe you could post the pics here for wannabe and zokie to check if they have any of 'em

[MamaBush]

[color=magenta]ahhhh, good idea[/color]
[color=#ff00ff][/color]
[color=#ff00ff][/color]
[color=#ff00ff][/color]
[color=#ff00ff][/color]
[color=#ff00ff]do any of these look familiar to you Zokah or Wannabe?[/color]

the terd monkey is happy now

[LTDunltd]

can't look at them now, have to log off and go to work in a few.


will look tonight...


should I????????

[MamaBush]

if you go to the gore section of GG, you may have seen them already

[MamaBush]

WHAT A FUCKING JOKE......ARGHHHHHH


I spent about 10 hours with that fucking PP download, now when I try to run it I get this message:

"c:\documentsandsettings\owner\desktop\officeSTD.exe is not a valid WIN32 application





WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN?????

Oh I give up on this shit. One of my friends, who is a teacher where I teach has PP on her computer, so she's going to give me her password so I can work on her computer. I called MIS today to ask why I don't have PP on my computer....they said, "duh, we'll look into it, but right now we're still working on getting the kid's computers up and running"...so, I asked why the other kid's computers in the other classrooms work but it seems only my kid's computer doesn't....got another, "duh.....I'm not sure"......


FUCKING STUPID PEOPLE

[zokah]

it sounds like your tech support needs the FAQ on the "any" key

[i`m a wannabe]

they probably dont know what FAQ means

[MamaBush]

MY POWER POINT PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN FIXED




the MIS guy was in my room today, replacing my kids wireless thingie ma jiggy and I asked him about my computer not having PP. He said he can fix that in 3 minutes...




I NOW HAVE POWER POINT ON MY WORK COMPUTER....

and my kid's computer finally works too...even the microsuck programs






I already have half of my presentation done....looking good if I must say so myself
