Is it possible to set up my presentation (in PPT 2000) so that during the presentation I can get a "prompt" prior to each slide? It needs to be some sort of prompt that ONLY I can see on my computer but doesn't project through the LCD (and cannot be seen by the attendees in the class). In this way, I can be reminded of what's coming in the next slide without having to carry around a pile of notes in my hand.
 
If you set up your presentation computer to take advantage of dual screens,
then yes, sure, why not.

Check here for how to set this up:

Hello,

If you were using PowerPoint 2002 or PowerPoint 2003 on a system where
multiple displays are possible (hardware requirement) and the option had
been enabled through the Display control panel, then you could use the
"Presenter View" option (in the Set up Show dialog) to get this ability.

However, since you are using PowerPoint 2000, Presenter View is not an
option. So, instead, you could use a "tell" to indicate to you when you've
reached the end of a particular slide. Basically animate (appear) something
"subtle" (a small dot, a line at the edge of the slide, etc.) which is not
noticable unless you are looking for it. Set the animation of the "tell" to
occur with the last animated item on the slide.
