POWERPOINT BASHING
Not everyone thinks that PowerPoint is such a good idea. Edward Tufte has a great article in Wired.

Cory Doctorow reviews the article on the Boing Boing blog:
"Great Edward Tufte rant about PowerPoint and other slideware, and why we should all avoid it. I did a talk a couple months ago and the conference organizers nearly insisted that I bring a PowerPoint presentation to accompany my speech. I told them that I didn't believe in slides for the kind of talk I was giving, and they responded, 'But what will keep the audience from getting bored?' Urr, possibly the words coming out of my mouth?"
