Does anyone have experience using presentation pointer/clickers with Macs? I'm going to be giving a research talk next week and need to use my mac laptop for file type reasons, but I don't have my own laser pointer and slide changer all in one (yes I have a laser pointer).
As there are movies and such in my slides I can't convert to pdf and use the Apple Remote, but the pc laptop that will already be in the presentation room always has one of those usb dongles and slide-changers. Can I just plug-and-play with the remote already there? The brands and such vary around the university, so I can't just go check a manufacturers website.

Thanks!

It should work fine. I have no problems with any of these.
