"We had 12.9 gigabytes of PowerPoint slides on our network. And I
thought, What a huge waste of corporate productivity. So we banned it. And we've had three unbelievable record-breaking fiscal quarters since we banned PowerPoint. Now, I would argue that every company in the world, if it would just ban PowerPoint, would see their earnings skyrocket. Employees would stand around going, 'What do I do? Guess I've got to go to work.'" - Scott McNealy, CEO of Sun Microsystems - and http://www.acs.org.au/president/1996/atm/npc/im961009.htm
