Not that I've worked with her, but...
A friend's wife has been on an IT course lately. She proudly showed me her first Powerpoint presentation the other day, and to be fair to her, it was pretty good, with transitions between slides and so on. I commented how impressed I was, and she said: "Oh, it was a nightmare, every time I wanted to do a transition I had to ask the teacher how to do it each time." I must have said something like: "But couldn't you just, you know, do the same thing you did last time you wanted to do that?"

Her answer was: "Well, it's easy for you, because you can remember things."

I had to admit that yes, being able to "remember things" does generally convey an advantage in life.

You want me to pay you five pounds for spelling out my already naff joke?
Nice work if you can get it.

Unbelievable
I can't stand transitions, they detract from the content a lot of the time.

I've got a firefox plugin
that causes new posts on messageboards to slide in diagonally surrounded by twinkly stars and hearts.

It makes b3ta 13% lovelier.

True.
But the content is pointless shit anyhow. Powerpoint is just a tool to make thick people look vaguely useful.
