70-669: Since Gainesville was settled in 1854, locals have known about and flocked to the ravine with a beautiful spring and trees surrounding it. Outflow from the spring becomes the 500-foot (150 m) Glen Spring Run, which joins Hogtown Creek . Measurements between 1941 and 1972 reported flows which varied between 26,000 and 36,000 US gallons per day (98 and 136 m/d), according to Florida Geological Survey Bulletin 66. The most recent test in 2010 showed daily flow at just 6,000 U.S. gallons per day (23 m/d). The surrounding property and spring were purchased by Gainesville businessman Cicero Addison Pound Sr. in 1924. Architect Guy Fulton designed

140-503: A PowerPoint presentation . Wetland Solutions, Inc. provided technical support, and the Howard T. Odum Florida Springs Institute (FSI) published, disseminated and publicized the original report. Two years later, the original document was expanded with septic tank pollution information, updated with new pictures, and re-released in October, 2012. The Florida Springs Institute began working with

210-481: A universal app . In this version of PowerPoint users can create and edit new presentations, present, and share their PowerPoint documents. PowerPoint for the web is a free lightweight version of Microsoft PowerPoint available as part of Office on the web, which also includes web versions of Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word. PowerPoint for the web does not support inserting or editing charts, equations, or audio or video stored on your PC, but they are all displayed in

280-471: A "deck", composed of paper copies of the slides. In some cases, decks were simply distributed to individuals, without even a walk-through or discussion. ... Other variations in the form included sending the PowerPoint file electronically to another site and talking through the slides over an audio or video channel (e.g., telephone or video conference) as both parties viewed the slides. ... Another common variation

350-555: A Bachelor of Science in Architecture, then served in the U.S. Army in World War I from 1917 to 1919. After the war, Fulton gained experience working for various firms in the midwest. Fulton married the former Shirley Holmes about 1922, but the couple had no children. He read about the Florida land boom of the 1920s and recognized an opportunity. The couple moved to Florida and he secured

420-737: A PowerPoint version for MS-DOS. After three years, PowerPoint sales were disappointing. Jeff Raikes, who had bought PowerPoint for Microsoft, later recalled: "By 1990, it looked like it wasn't a very smart idea [for Microsoft to have acquired PowerPoint], because not very many people were using PowerPoint." This began to change when the first version for Windows, PowerPoint 2.0, brought sales up to about 200,000 copies in 1990 and to about 375,000 copies in 1991, with Windows units outselling Macintosh. PowerPoint sold about 1 million copies in 1992, of which about 80 percent were for Windows and about 20 percent for Macintosh, and in 1992 PowerPoint's market share of worldwide presentation graphics software sales

490-536: A converged user interface. PowerPoint's market share was very small at first, prior to introducing a version for Microsoft Windows, but grew rapidly with the growth of Windows and of Office. Since the late 1990s, PowerPoint's worldwide market share of presentation software has been estimated at 95 percent. PowerPoint was originally designed to provide visuals for group presentations within business organizations, but has come to be widely used in other communication situations in business and beyond. The wider use led to

560-529: A great idea." I came back to see Bill. I said, "Bill, I think we really ought to do this;" and Bill said, "No, no, no, no, no, that's just a feature of Microsoft Word, just put it into Word." ... And I kept saying, "Bill, no, it's not just a feature of Microsoft Word, it's a whole genre of how people do these presentations." And, to his credit, he listened to me and ultimately allowed me to go forward and ... buy this company in Silicon Valley called Forethought, for

630-533: A group of Elks members to improve Glen Springs. If the site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places , it would be easier to fund the restoration. The Elks want to retain the pool, while FSI seeks to restore the spring to its natural state and improve flow and water quality. On April 21, 2012, the Elks Club hosted a cleanup day at the spring and invited community members to participate. Linda Califf led

700-601: A job in the Florida State Architect's office as a draftsman in 1926. Around that time, he was commissioned to design the springhouse and spring-fed pool at Glen Springs in Gainesville. While he was proving himself at his state job, he also took numerous freelance jobs, primarily designing private residences. He was eventually named Assistant to the Architect, and received his architect's license in 1932. Fulton became

770-654: A letter to Dave Winer withdrawing its earlier letter of intent to acquire his company, and in mid-May 1987 Microsoft sent a letter of intent to acquire Forethought. As requested in that letter of intent, Robert Gaskins from Forethought went to Redmond for a one-on-one meeting with Bill Gates in early June 1987, and by the end of July an agreement was concluded for an acquisition. The New York Times reported: ... July 30, 1987— The Microsoft Corporation announced its first significant software acquisition today, paying $ 14 million [$ 37.5 million in present-day terms ] for Forethought Inc. of Sunnyvale, Calif.

840-719: A member of the American Institute of Architects in 1940. That same year, he redesigned the facility at Glen Springs, resulting in three pools with a "brilliant drainage system". After World War II , college enrollment increased, resulting in a building boom on the Florida campus. Beginning in 1945, Fulton served as Architect to the Florida Board of Control , designing and supervising construction of University of Florida buildings, as well as those at Florida State University and Florida A&M University . His design theme at UF

910-521: A new application that would be especially suited to the new graphical personal computers, such as the Apple Macintosh and later Microsoft Windows . Gaskins produced his initial description of PowerPoint about a month later (August 14, 1984) in the form of a 2-page document titled "Presentation Graphics for Overhead Projection." By October 1984, Gaskins had selected Dennis Austin to be the developer for PowerPoint. Gaskins and Austin worked together on

980-426: A powerful new color laptop and feeding a professional auditorium video projector . By about 2003, ten years later, digital projection had become the dominant mode of use, replacing transparencies and 35mm slides and their projectors. As a result, the meaning of "PowerPoint presentation" narrowed to mean specifically digital projection: ... in the business lexicon, "PowerPoint presentation" had come to refer to

1050-399: A presentation made using a PowerPoint slideshow projected from a computer. Although the PowerPoint software had been used to generate transparencies for over a decade, this usage was not typically encompassed by a common understanding of the term. In contemporary operation, PowerPoint is used to create a file (called a "presentation" or "deck") containing a sequence of pages (called "slides" in

1120-591: A program called PowerPoint that allows users of Apple Macintosh computers to make overhead transparencies or flip charts. ... [T]he acquisition of Forethought is the first significant one for Microsoft, which is based in Redmond, Wash. Forethought would remain in Sunnyvale, giving Microsoft a Silicon Valley presence. The unit will be headed by Robert Gaskins, Forethought's vice president of product development. Microsoft's president Jon Shirley offered his company's motivation for

1190-409: A program specifically to make overhead presentations was already being developed by Forethought, Inc., and that it was nearly completed. Raikes and others visited Forethought on February 6, 1987, for a confidential demonstration. Raikes later recounted his reaction to seeing PowerPoint and his report about it to Bill Gates , who was initially skeptical: I thought, "software to do overheads—that's

1260-647: A rate of about 4 million copies annually, for worldwide market share of 85 percent. The increase in business use has been attributed to " network effects ", whereby additional users of PowerPoint in a company or an industry increased its salience and value to other users. Not everyone immediately approved of the greater use of PowerPoint for presentations, even in business. CEOs who very early were reported to discourage or ban PowerPoint presentations at internal business meetings included Lou Gerstner (at IBM, in 1993), Scott McNealy (at Sun Microsystems, in 1996), and Steve Jobs (at Apple, in 1997). But even so, Rich Gold,

1330-450: A second developer to join the project, Thomas Rudkin. Gaskins prepared two final product specification marketing documents in June 1986; these described a product for both Macintosh and Windows. At about the same time, Austin, Rudkin, and Gaskins produced a second and final major design specification document, this time showing a Macintosh look. Throughout this development period, the product

1400-451: A segregated swimming area, open only to whites. Fulton's design expanded the facility to three pools in 1940. The first pool contained the spring itself and was 18 by 10 feet (5.5 m × 3.0 m) and mostly 8 feet (2.4 m) deep; the middle pool was 170 by 25 feet (51.8 m × 7.6 m) and 3 feet (0.91 m) deep; the last pool was 140 by 25 feet (42.7 m × 7.6 m) and 8 feet (2.4 m) deep. Total volume

It is a presentation program capable of reading and editing Microsoft PowerPoint presentations, although authoring abilities are limited to adding notes, editing text, and rearranging slides. It can't create new presentations. Versions of PowerPoint Mobile for Windows Phone 7 can also watch presentation broadcasts streamed from the Internet. In 2015, Microsoft released PowerPoint Mobile for Windows 10 as

1610-685: Is still carried out in Silicon Valley as of 2017 . In 2010, Jeff Raikes, who had most recently been President of the Business Division of Microsoft (including responsibility for Office), observed: "of course, today we know that PowerPoint is oftentimes the number two—or in some cases even the number one—most-used tool" among the applications in Office. PowerPoint's initial sales were about 40,000 copies sold in 1987 (nine months), about 85,000 copies in 1988, and about 100,000 copies in 1989, all for Macintosh. PowerPoint's market share in its first three years

Buildings on or near the UF campus designed by Fulton include: Microsoft PowerPoint Microsoft PowerPoint is a presentation program , created by Robert Gaskins , Tom Rudkin, and Dennis Austin at a software company named Forethought, Inc. It was released on April 20, 1987, initially for Macintosh computers only. Microsoft acquired PowerPoint for about $ 14 million three months after it appeared. This

1820-476: The MIT Sloan School of Management : The standard form of such presentations involves a single person standing before a group of people, talking and using the PowerPoint slideshow to project visual aids onto a screen. ... In practice, however, presentations are not always delivered in this mode. In our studies, we often found that the presenter sat at a table with a small group of people and walked them through

1890-480: The Applications Division. Microsoft assigned an internal group to write a specification and plan for a new presentation product. They contemplated an acquisition to speed up development, and in early 1987 Microsoft sent a letter of intent to acquire Dave Winer 's product called MORE , an outlining program that could print its outlines as bullet charts. During this preparatory activity Raikes discovered that

1960-562: The Elks again declined to sell. Around 1995, the city purchased 21 acres (8.5 ha) that became the Alfred A. Ring Park, abutting Glen Springs to the south. It was necessary to construct a bridge across the Glen Springs Run (outflow), and the slopes of the run were restored to a natural state. The Elks Club parking lot is used by those utilizing the Alfred A. Ring Park. Amy Grossman was searching

2030-503: The Elks members and volunteers spent six hours raking algae, pressure washing and removing debris from the three pools. In May 2012, Dr. Knight asked the city to support a restoration plan, but the commission is waiting to see what happens with privately funded efforts before they commit to the plan. As of 2023, no actions of any consequence had been taken regarding springs in Florida, which are in rapid decline. Guy Fulton Guy Chandler Fulton (October 27, 1892 – October 15, 1974)

2100-611: The Florida Springs Institute as director. Knight endorsed the idea, and the result was the Glen Springs Restoration Plan (GSRP). The GSRP was intended to draw attention to the resource, outline the history of the spring, identify current problems, and suggest possible resolutions. Assistance was provided by the Wildlife Foundation of Florida , who made a $ 2,500 grant to help create an "action plan" and

' " Microsoft had 50% market share in Macintosh applications, and led in three categories; Raikes said that after the acquisition it would lead in five categories. (Forethought distributed the database Filemaker , which Microsoft wanted to continue marketing.) The company intended for Forethought to be its Silicon Valley base to develop and market future graphics software, so set up within its Applications Division, an independent "Graphics Business Unit" for PowerPoint,

A smartphone remote control built in to PowerPoint for iOS (optionally controlled from Apple Watch) and for Android allows the presenter to control the show from elsewhere in the room. In addition to a computer slide show projected to a live audience by a speaker, PowerPoint can be used to deliver a presentation in a number of other ways: Some of these ways of using PowerPoint have been studied by JoAnne Yates and Wanda Orlikowski of

2590-512: The company grew in Silicon Valley. A new PowerPoint 2.0 for Macintosh, adding color 35 mm slides, shipped in May 1988, and again received good reviews. The same PowerPoint 2.0 product re-developed for Windows was shipped two years later, in mid-1990, at the same time as Windows 3.0 . Much of the color technology was the result of a joint development partnership with Genigraphics , the dominant presentation services company. PowerPoint 3.0, which

This first design document showed a product as it would look in Microsoft Windows 1.0 , which at that time had not been released. Development from that spec was begun by Austin in November 1985, for Macintosh first. About six months later, on May 1, 1986, Gaskins and Austin chose

2730-776: The development of the PowerPoint presentation as a new form of communication, with strong reactions including advice that it should be used less, differently, or better. The first PowerPoint version (Macintosh 1987) was used to produce overhead transparencies, the second (Macintosh 1988, Windows 1990) could also produce color 35 mm slides. The third version (Windows and Macintosh 1992) introduced video output of virtual slideshows to digital projectors, which would over time replace physical transparencies and slides. A dozen major versions since then have added additional features and modes of operation and have made PowerPoint available beyond Apple Macintosh and Microsoft Windows, adding versions for iOS , Android , and web access. PowerPoint

2800-584: The documentation was hastily revised. Funding to complete development of PowerPoint was assured in mid-January 1987, when a new Apple Computer venture capital fund, called Apple's Strategic Investment Group, selected PowerPoint to be its first investment. A month later, on February 22, 1987, Forethought announced PowerPoint at the Personal Computer Forum in Phoenix ; John Sculley , the CEO of Apple, appeared at

All the PowerPoint people from Forethought joined Microsoft, and the new location was headed by Robert Gaskins, with Dennis Austin and Thomas Rudkin leading development. PowerPoint 1.0 for Macintosh was modified to indicate the new Microsoft ownership and continued to be sold. A year after

3010-491: The first pool and springhouse which was built soon after. The swimming team from the University of Florida even practiced there around 1929 before the university pool was constructed in 1930. At that time, Northwest 23rd Boulevard was known as Glen Springs Road. Pound's son stated that Glen Springs was the “only (public) place to swim near Gainesville” until the pool at Westside Park was completed in 1966. Glen Springs was, however,

3080-440: The integrated Microsoft Office product, its development remained in Silicon Valley. Succeeding versions of PowerPoint introduced important changes, particularly version 12.0 (2007) which had a very different shared Office " ribbon " user interface, and a new shared Office XML-based file format . This marked the 20th anniversary of PowerPoint, and Microsoft held an event to commemorate that anniversary at its Silicon Valley Campus for

With some effort, she was able to visit the spring in person, and was acutely disappointed at the condition of the spring and surroundings. As a graduate student at the University of Florida in 2010, she proposed a project for her class: create a plan to resurrect Glen Springs. The instructor was Dr. Robert L. Knight, who also worked at

3220-465: The largest multinationals." Business people had for a long time made presentations for sales calls and for internal company communications, and PowerPoint produced the same formats in the same style and for the same purposes. PowerPoint use in business grew over its first five years (1987–1992) to sales of about 1 million copies annually, for worldwide market share of 63 percent. Over the following five years (1992–1997) PowerPoint sales accelerated, to

3290-401: The late 1990s, PowerPoint's market share of total world presentation software has been estimated at 95 percent by both industry and academic sources. The earliest version of PowerPoint (1987 for Macintosh) could be used to print black and white pages to be photocopied onto sheets of transparent film for projection from overhead projectors , and to print speaker's notes and audience handouts;

3360-537: The latest applications in Office: Word 6.0, Excel 5.0, and Access 2.0. The integration is so good, you'll have to look twice to make sure you're running PowerPoint and not Word or Excel." Office integration was further underscored in the following version, PowerPoint 95, which was given the version number PowerPoint 7.0 (skipping 5.0 and 6.0) so that all the components of Office would share the same major version number. Although PowerPoint by this point had become part of

3430-557: The next version (1988 for Macintosh, 1990 for Windows) was extended to also produce color 35mm slides by communicating a file over a modem to a Genigraphics imaging center with slides returned by overnight delivery for projection from slide projectors . PowerPoint was used for planning and preparing a presentation, but not for delivering it (apart from previewing it on a computer screen, or distributing printed paper copies). The operation of PowerPoint changed substantially in its third version (1992 for Windows and Macintosh), when PowerPoint

White led an effort in 1984 for the city to acquire the spring and restore it to a natural state. In April, 1986, negotiations between the Elks and the city were terminated when the Elks insisted on more money than the city would spend. One year later, the city upped their offer to $ 451,000, which was 10% more than assessed value, but in 1988,

3640-692: The product known as PowerPoint. When PowerPoint was released by Forethought, its initial press was favorable; the Wall Street Journal reported on early reactions: " 'I see about one product a year I get this excited about,' says Amy hora, a consultant in Bala Cynwyd, Pa. 'People will buy a Macintosh just to get access to this product . ' " On April 28, 1987, a week after shipment, a group of Microsoft's senior executives spent another day at Forethought to hear about initial PowerPoint sales on Macintosh and plans for Windows. The following day, Microsoft sent

3710-439: The upper level held a hardwood dance floor, jukebox and concession stand. Roy Perkins, who ran the facility for twenty years, called it "the largest baby-sitting agency in Gainesville." The pool was cleaned weekly by diverting the water to a bypass canal, which allowed the pools to drain, then lifeguards would scrub the walls and bottom with brooms. Flow was returned to the pool and it refilled. In addition to picnics and dancing,

3780-582: Was Microsoft's first significant acquisition, and Microsoft set up a new business unit for PowerPoint in Silicon Valley where Forethought had been located. PowerPoint became a component of the Microsoft Office suite, first offered in 1989 for Macintosh and in 1990 for Windows , which bundled several Microsoft apps. Beginning with PowerPoint 4.0 (1994), PowerPoint was integrated into Microsoft Office development, and adopted shared common components and

3850-431: Was a tiny part of the total presentation market, which was very heavily dominated by MS-DOS applications on PCs. The market leaders on MS-DOS in 1988–1989 were Harvard Graphics (introduced by Software Publishing in 1986 ) in first place, and Lotus Freelance Plus (also introduced in 1986 ) as a strong second. They were competing with more than a dozen other MS-DOS presentation products, and Microsoft did not develop

4060-408: Was called "Presenter". Then, just before release, there was a last-minute check with Forethought's lawyers to register the name as a trademark, and "Presenter" was unexpectedly rejected because it had already been used by someone else. Gaskins says that he thought of "PowerPoint", based on the product's goal of "empowering" individual presenters, and sent that name to the lawyers for clearance, while all

The Elks Lodge #990 purchased the property and swimming was not permitted. The Elks constructed a deck attached to the upper floor of the springhouse, but no maintenance was performed on the pool's physical structure, which has deteriorated over forty plus years. The Elks Club stocked

4200-468: Was created by Robert Gaskins and Dennis Austin at a software startup in Silicon Valley named Forethought, Inc. Forethought had been founded in 1983 to create an integrated environment and applications for future personal computers that would provide a graphical user interface, but it had run into difficulties requiring a "restart" and new plan. On July 5, 1984, Forethought hired Robert Gaskins as its vice president of product development to create

4270-560: Was extended to also deliver a presentation by producing direct video output to digital projectors or large monitors. In 1992 video projection of presentations was rare and expensive, and practically unknown from a laptop computer. Robert Gaskins, one of the creators of PowerPoint, says he publicly demonstrated that use for the first time at a large Microsoft meeting held in Paris on February 25, 1992, by using an unreleased development build of PowerPoint 3.0 running on an early pre-production sample of

The pool's drain is on the bottom beneath the 9.8 feet (3 m) concrete platform, where water flows through a discharge pipe and creates the Glen Springs Run. The springhouse included two levels: the ground floor contained locker rooms and showers, while

4410-437: Was part of the first Office bundle for Macintosh which was offered in mid-1989. When PowerPoint 2.0 for Windows appeared, a year later, it was part of a similar Office bundle for Windows, which was offered in late 1990. Both of these were bundling promotions, in which the independent applications were packaged together and offered for a lower total price. PowerPoint 3.0 (1992) was again separately specified and developed, and

4480-496: Was placing a PowerPoint file on a web site for people to view at different times. They found that some of these ways of using PowerPoint could influence the content of presentations, for example when "the slides themselves have to carry more of the substance of the presentation, and thus need considerably more content than they would have if they were intended for projection by a speaker who would orally provide additional details and nuance about content and context." PowerPoint Mobile

4550-409: Was reorganized from the independent "Graphics Business Unit" (GBU) to become the "Graphics Product Unit" (GPU) for Office, and PowerPoint 4.0 changed to adopt a converged user interface and other components shared with the other apps in Office. When it was released, the computer press reported on the change approvingly: "PowerPoint 4.0 has been re-engineered from the ground up to resemble and work with

4620-426: Was reported as 63 percent. By the last six months of 1992, PowerPoint revenue was running at a rate of over $ 100 million annually ($ 268 million in present-day terms ). Sales of PowerPoint 3.0 doubled to about 2 million copies in 1993, of which about 90 percent were for Windows and about 10 percent for Macintosh, and in 1993 PowerPoint's market share of worldwide presentation graphics software sales

4690-508: Was reported as 78 percent. In both years, about half of total revenue came from sales outside the U.S. By 1997 PowerPoint sales had doubled again, to more than 4 million copies annually, representing 85 percent of the world market. Also in 1997, an internal publication from the PowerPoint group said that by then over 20 million copies of PowerPoint were in use, and that total revenues from PowerPoint over its first ten years (1987 to 1996) had already exceeded $ 1 billion.
