We've got one of them at work. Really useful if you move around while presenting or if the PC is in an awkward place.

Definitely one less this to worry about and focus on the content of your topic

dont put too much content on each slide.

bullet points only .. no fancy transitions. only pictures or graphics if relevant

This is the certainly the golden rule however.....
When I was working some gadgy came along with a presentation of about 20 slides of flow charts each of which looked like the circuit diagram of some sort of advanced nuclear reactor that had been over laid with the plans of random major military campaigns of the C20th. They had to be seen to be believed. (His actual topic was how to manage the implementation of some new IT in the business).

The only thing that I learnt from the whole thing was that the poor chap was in urgent need of some sort of therapy. Naturally the senior managers who were present and couldn't have been any the wiser than I was following the event declared that the idiot was a genius and put him in charge of the whole project. He turned out to be a real Walter Mitty - "Quelle surprise"

And spell check it.

Nothing worse than seeing your lovingly prepared slides up in huge fonts in front of an audience then notice the glaring typo
