Somehow I'd managed NOT to send this to the list:

Well, I read the article.

I don't think PowerPoint if broken. It does what it's designed to do and
does it... well, okay. I especially appreciate the ability to instantly
change the font colours and background to fit the lighting conditions
and projection equipment of various venues. What's broken is the idea
that one training model fits all: that simple points are adequate for
conveying both simple and complex concepts.

People who have something they need to teach have to ask themselves a
qestion we do everyday as technical writers: what is the best way or
ways to get the desired end result from the target audience.
