Power Point Riposte (updated)

BySteeljawscribe

Some folks think that by enabling that most noxious of programs spawned from the den of inequity otherwise known as Redmond, WA to be displayed via the bolgsphere is…progress?  Forsooth!  Cease  and desist!  Do ye know not what evil thou hast loosed upon this goode land?  Evidently this most humble of scribes and servants needs to resurrect a former epistle on this very subject.  Here it is then for thy studied consideration:

The short story is…

  1. I have the luxury of working where they know not PowerPoint and the symptoms that go with the excessive use….I feel for you, in the daily exposure profile you keep, but I know I have no part in your digital torturing.

    If you might highlight Brad Peniston (who you need to contact for photos with MEGEN, BTW) speaking at the National Maritime Historical Society tomorrow, maybe some of your readership might see it and attend what I’m sure will be an enlightening talk.
