[ANN] Slides from my talk are up on rubyhacker.com

Hmm, I have OpenOffice 1.0.1 on Red Hat. I can
certainly open the .ppt, but I can’t see a way

You can print to a Postscript file in the menu Print. Then you can
convert the file to PDF with ps2pdf.

I used to use HP Laserjet 4 at 300 dpi as target printer - worked
