Where's the remote thingy for the PowerPoint?
Some people in the office were trying to get the remote working as we had a PowerPoint presentation coming up and were calling it things like remote thingy, remote slide clicker, wireless mouse so I finally asked, "Does anyone know what the official name for that thing is?" Here we were, professional assistants talking about the thingy for the PowerPoint. So I did what I normally do when I want an answer -- I Googled it! And guess what? Nobody seems to really know what its called, but Powerpoint Remote was given as a common name. Great! Now at least I will have a name that most people will know what I mean. Technically I think it is a remote mouse with Powerpoint clicker capabilities, but PowerPoint Remote works just fine for me. Although thingy will work in a crunch...

Hi Patricia and fellow admins. After reading the article on the "remote clicker", which is what I used to call it, I asked John in the cubicle beside me. We looked in a catalogue and found it. It's called a Presentation Remote.

Thanks Patty. When I looked on Google different companies were calling it different things, but PowerPoint Remote or Presentation Remote does help.
