Aha! Power Point is the magic phrase in our house. It is a synonym for
"totally worthless". My wife will go to a concert or art show, and come
back, and I'll ask her about it, and she'll say, "It was really bad.
I'd rather watch a Power Point.". Both she and I have attended PP
presentations, where somebody paid transportation, hotel and food costs,
only to watch PP garbage. Now, other times I've seen PP presentations
given by people who actually know something, and the PP is just a prop
to help. But sometimes, it's obvious that the presenter looked at this
PP the day before, and it represents everything they know about the
subject. Of course, the presentation consists solely of reading the
slides. Well, I learned to read 50 years ago, and I *don't* want
somebody reading to me!
