If you are using a separate Mac (Macbook) to run PPT or KN then just slip in a Catalyst Lite dongle and since you are just running JPGs you won't have to worry about performance issues with movies.

This of course does take into account that you're using DMX and have the channel real estate.

FYI, it is very easy to get a hand held MIDI trigger that can step a cuelist forward or backward on a DMX console. I do this for presenters instead of allowing them to use PPt or KN.
