September 5, 2002, here on slacktivist: Powerpoint sucks
I was disappointed to find a Google search for “PowerPoint sucks” only returning 32 hits. Only 32?
It may be, I guess, that PowerPoint is awful in such a banal, low-key way that it doesn’t rise to the level of obsessive hatred. But it should. This pervasive “presentation software” is everywhere. And people are using it for a whole lot more than “presentations” — they’re laying out fliers, newsletters, whole magazines on this glorified electric Colorforms set.
(I’m pleased to say that today, 11 years later, a Google search for “PowerPoint sucks” returns 6,650 results. Better, but still too few.)
