Anyone want to 'go there' on Tufte's thoughts on PowerPoint?

True, but I have not yet done a single animated slide in my life.

be great.
Am I a terrible heretic for quite liking Powerpoint? I think it's a
great tool, that is usually horribly abused. And yes, I've used
animation in my slides. Occasionally. Carefully.
In that case you may find

interesting.
Personally I don't like the way that Powerpoint is used because it
encourages oversimplification. Also I think that spending great
energy on fancy presentations for internal use is a waste of company
time and money.
Cheers,
