Even with this ridiculously long rant...

I just don't see first of all why anyone would publish a rant on something they really don't have any back up evidence for. I am not the hugest fan of PowerPoint myself, but I don't feel the need to bitch for an entire 31 pages about it. It seems to me the more evidence Tufte tries to use, the less I believe that PP is the worst program on the planet that strips very human of creativity and intelligence.
Secondly, I am uncertain as to what the exact seperation is between actualy slides and PP. One may only pictures, and one may add text, but essentially in my head it's the same. I mean PP may be a tad cheesy, but I don't feel less creative or less intelligetn for using it.
Secretly I think Tufte tried to explain the probelms in his marriage through PP and after his wife flipped out and left his crazy ass, he held PP completely responsible.
