PowerPoint Rangers
For most white-collar warriors, there's nothing worse than being trapped in a meeting room with an ambitious marketing executive droning on over his seemingly infinite PowerPoint presentation. That is, unless that marketing guy happens to have Vox Proxy, a first-of-its-kind authoring software tool for Windows platforms that brings PowerPoint presentations to life with personable, entertaining characters. The software turns lackluster slide shows into 3D animation festivals. This upgraded version makes Vox Proxy the leading interactive add-in for Microsoft PowerPoint on the market today.

TecSonic is the world's first personal, portable, public address system that packs up completely in a supplied briefcase. With a size and weight about the same as a laptop, the system includes a flat-panel speaker, a matching five-foot-high speaker stand, a handheld microphone and cable, plus a flexible mixer/amplifier to handle a broad range of possible input and output connections. It can be easily stored in an airplane overhead bin and can be set up anywhere. For more information visit www.transaudio group.com or call (212) 388-1400.
