Cringely has a great column suggesting we learn to "just say no" to PowerPoint. Particularly if the PPT "stack" is provided as reading material, disconnected from the presenter: "more often than not, I get the stack without the presenter, and no matter how smart or informed I am, any solo effort to expend that stack into an adequate proxy for a 10,000-word document is simply bound to come up short." I totally agree. I have long thought a good corporate requirement for vendors would be to provide PowerPoint-free presentations.
