Last Saturday I posted Twitter comments about Excel. Since yesterday’s post was about PowerPoint, let’s see what people are saying about it. As with Excel, some people seem to love it, or are at least ambivalent. Others speak of PowerPoint and violence in the same sentence. No mention of versions though.

So which quote rings true with you?

PowerPoint Positives

• grabbing screen shots from video footage for PowerPoint to accompany streaming video clips. Just discovered screen dump straight to slide
• Wonders how meeting were ever interesting without PowerPoint? Overhead projectors rocked! He he
• Learning how to add PowerPoint images to a Livelink Wiki
• Pondering the power of PowerPoint
• sitting in a coffee shop (zoka’s), working on the PowerPoint presentation and the patent application
• Last minute changes to the mod, the powerpoint and my brain. Today should go ok if I can stop saying “Um.”
