    ok so im guessing that the librarian saved the powerpoint in .pptx format.

    here's how u can convert it to old format so your computer can view and edit it: http://www.zamzar.com/

    upload it and select convert to .ppt and then enter your email and it will give u a download link for it. good luck

    side note: and... u sure your usb drive doesnt work with macs? all usb drives are compatible with both pcs and macs. so dont shy away from macs.
