Response to The Cognitive Style of Powerpoint

I have to agree with most of you guys that I have hated Powerpoint for years. I agreed with Tufte on pretty much everything. While the material did tend to become dense and repetive, it was actually far more enjoyable than I thought it would be. Parts of it, in fact, were actually kind of funny. I do think that Powerpoint is a pretty awful program that creates boring nd predictable presentations which are pretty useless. I have been wondering, thought, is it the inablility to make good comparisions that primarily makes Powerpoint statistics so skewed? Also, should we just completely do away with this program altogether? Or can it be salvaged?
