      I heard once that Sun Microsystems banned PowerPoint and productivity went up 11%. I could be remembering it wrong, though.

      @gomerx probably true. I've stopped using it almost completely after once using it constantly.

      Presentation software has it's place. At my last job, people often sent stuff in Powerpoint that should have been a Word document, though

      @gomerx that's annoying but I also hate it when people send stuff in a word document that could just be put in an email.

      @jonkulp What about when people put in an email something they could just as quickly walk over and tell you?

      What about when people walk over to tell you something that really amounts to nothing, they could have just as well kept their mouths shut?

      There's an option in Microsoft Word to File->Send as->E-mail, I believe. Some people never use an E-mail client and do it all in Word.

      @gomerx send mail, OK. but do they *read* mail in Word, too?

      Write with Word, read with Outlook or Internet Explorer. These are people who don't know what 'right-click' means, though.

      @jpope my boss is usually busy. I would actually like to have more nonsense conversations with him. Now, some other folks...
