Should I use 4:3 or 16:9 for my ppts?

Client wants to use 4:3 and I think they are insane.

16:9 or bust

Maybe they have a reason? It better scales to their standard screens or presentation hardware? Do a little digging and presenting the pros and cons:

4:3 better for presenting more base level, quick ideas. More brand and image centric

16:9 better for multi-column information approach. Can visibly use both text and visuals without overwhelming the viewer

Etc

Any tips on how to easily take a 16:9 presentation to 4:3 and maintain formatting?

My firm’s IT (especially system saving and file locating function) is so bad 😐😞 and they keep doing updates no one asked them for just to mess with the stuff we already got a hang of without doing anything about the issues we actually need fixed. Anyone else in a similar boat? Do you bill the client for the time it takes to fix the IT issue (or IT inefficiency generally, like time taken to find a file in a convoluted system)? Or is that supposed to be our non-billable time?
