Some people here may enjoy reading this two historic documents:

that's much more effective than it would have been if he'd used
Powerpoint...
When my friend was writing his book "The Jennifer Morgue" one of the
questions he asked for help on was "How would you kill someone with a
powerpoint presentation?". And, yes, this was a serious plot point in
the book.
By the way, I highly recommend the "Laundryverse" series by Charlie
Stross. It's quite a bit of fun, and various people will recognize a
lot of the places in it. It starts off with the anthology of short
stories, "The Atrocity Archives".
