| Pathdoc | Now supports Win NT | 
| Newest version also supports Win NT |
| outbound | 2 thumbs up |
| Now that the Mirror is available, don't know why I'd lug my 8lb laptop around all the time. |
| outbound | works as advertised - Mac version coming ? |
| It does its job quickly and efficiently. its win2K driver is also as stable as the Win98 version and I heard they're coming out soon with the mac version as well |
| Pathdoc | Now supports WIn2K |
| Now it supports WIN2K and also allows you to review the text portion of your slides (in addition to notes) off-line. |
| J. Novak | No Win-2K and No Transitions | 
| With no current Win-2K support it is useless to me. With no support for transitions and on slide animations why even bother with a slide show. See the digicam comment below. |

| F Peeters | Missing too many things! |
| Played with it, didn't like it!
Lack of transition effects, no animations (not even basic ones), no memory expansion possibilities (I sometimes get 20+ MB PPT's from HQ to present to Disti's) and the apparent lack of thinking through the final design (like having to plug the cable, no carrying bag for cables, etc.) definitely turned me down! And then the OS: I am running Win2k on my laptop, servers and even my home PC! I had to test it at my parents PC! |
| stanw | Perfect for static slide shows |
| The Margi Presenter-to-Go is everything the spec sheet says it is. All of my presentations are simple, static PowerPoint slide shows with an occasional need to show Word documents. I don't use a laptop for anything other than presentations so the PTG is perfect for my needs.
The unit is easy to set up, the desktop integration is excellent. As a first release, Margi has done an excellent job.
That said, here are some nits that I've found. First, the Margi PTG desktop is not compatible with Blue Nomad's InstallBuddy. I had to remove IB and reinstall the Handpsring desktop to recover the standard Install conduit. Margi says that a fix is in the works. Second, the AC power adapter plug is very small but it is rectangular and horizontal in orientation when plugged into a wall outlet. This prevents conflicts if the other outlet is being used. If you are plugging into a power strip, you may need two outlets of real-estate. Third, the power cord is too short to reach from a wall outlet to a conference room table. You need to carry an extension cord as well.
Overall, given my requirements, the PTG rates a 9/10 and well worth the money.

| Rubicon221 | Wow. Do this now! |
| Ok - NT/2K is an issue; Margi
assures us 2k drivers will be out
in a month. Great internal marketing
tool - intend to put one in the
hands of several colleagues who
help promote ideas. Great
implementation of a great idea. |
| scottedt | The final part of my laptop replacement |
| This module completely clears the way to get rid of my laptop. I have been looking for this for 2 years now. I am a road warrior and smaller and lighter is the only way to surivive planes, trains and automobiles. This is not a perfect module but it does what I need to do!!!! |
