lost for words - even if you follow some of the threads/links - the connection is meaningless.

Whoever produced this must have been on something.

It's what they've added!

The first draft said something like:

Bomb the bad guys ---> Win ---> Get medals ---> Go home (maybe)

  • Nobody takes any notice of PowerPoint presentations.
  • What sort of graphics setup do you need to produce sufficient resolution to project that mess so that it's readable?
  • PowerPoint should not be used in place of thinking.
  • Lies, damned lies, statistics and PowerPoint presentations.

I hate PowerPoint.  I'm currently working on a presentation that's supposed to go onto my laptop that isn't working.  I may give up and write an essay instead. :(
