Travel Demand Modeling 101 Part 1: Terminology

I opened a PowerPoint presentation from my email and recieved the following notice:



I wouldn't have cared if I had opened PowerPoint a million times before this one, but this was the first time that I opened PowerPoint 2008 on my Mac.  However, considering that this is the same company that released Vista AFTER XP and ME AFTER 98, what should I expect?
