Welcome to the
February 2004 Issue!
Could it be that PowerPoint's ugliness is only skin deep? And that there's
something more interesting going on beneath its surface? This month, Bob
Horn's interview explores
PowerPoint as part of a broader visual-verbal language

meaning to
PowerPoint than meets the eye, and that we have yet to realize. |
