And finally...
Any Questions?
On a big slide all on its own, guaranteeing that there will be none.

we had a classic case at one of our conferences last year.
a speaker came along with her powerpoint presentation and the nitwits dealing with the projector thingy couldn't get it to work so whilst they were fiddling around with it for 15 minutes, the speaker decided to give her presentation whatever.
the nitwits finally found the 'on' button and decided to press that and hey presto - it worked. and so the speaker gave the presentation all over again which resulted in the conference ending over an hour late.
powerpoint ? it sucks.

I have an instant narcoleptic reaction to PowerPoint. At the very sight of THAT piece of Clip Art with THAT man bending over with the magnifying glass, or THAT sillhouetted crowd scene, my eyelids droop and I am sent into a deeeep deeeep sleeeep.

This is soooooo true! Even more so when I worked in America - everything we had to show to someone else had to be in Powerpoint. We couldn't write a paper in Word, and just show it to the boss - oh no - it had to be a 'deck' and we had to take our laptops to show it. All style, no substance!

Powerpoint is a vile, vile thing. And giving a Powerpoint presentation is almost as bad as sitting through one.

The best argument I've ever seen against using Powerpoint, or any similar piece of presentation software, is this one:

You can just imagine the words "Four score and ten years ago" whizzing in from different parts of the screen.

I have to sit through a 3 hour "interactive" Powerpoint presentation on our appraisal procedure in the morning. Neither the procedure nor the training has changed since last year but, because nobody did it properly, we've got to go through the training again.
What they haven't twigged is that it wasn't done properly because everybody fell asleep during the training.

How about someone doing a weblog of Great Historical Speeches, brought up to date with the 'magic' of the Powerpoint presentation?
It could be amusing, seeing Churchill 'We will fight them on the beaches' with a nice picture of a beach to go with it...
And Neville Chamberlain would not be the same after returning from Hitler with his Presentation of events!

Powerpoint definately does suck.
When you're at home preparing stuff it works fine then when you're actually presenting, sod's law, something goes wrong in a bad way...

Oh I see...Out here in the middle of nowhere you just stick your fingers in an electrical socket but Death By Powerpoint obviously means something entirely different!!!
