Just today someone was giving a power point presentation (made on a mac and presented with a PC) and some graphics did not show. At professional meetings now (the better organized meetings), pcs and macs are both used to avoid the compatibility issues, so people with presentations made on one machine can present using the same type of machine. I believe a large part of this problem is constantly changing formats to keep people locked into one system--and it works. No excuse in this day and age.
