Google Docs
For those of you who have never played around with Google Docs before, what is stopping you? This free online suite boasts spreadsheets and word processing documents and, now…
Presentations!
While Google Presentations isn’t exactly going to completely replace Microsoft’s PowerPoint or Apple’s Keynote, it’s certainly worth considering if you’re going to be collaborating on a presentation with others. It’s also worth looking at if you want to make a presentation available online.
Or…if you don’t own a presentation software application…
Like other Google Docs apps, I imagine it will support Hebrew (anyone who’s using Google Docs with Hebrew, care to weigh in on that?).

Go there – play with it.
