being driven with presentation software. Microsoft's PowerPoint is
perhaps the best known and most hated of the slide presentation programs
out there, but few would take a political stand over it. However,
[1]that's exactly what Switzerland's Anti-PowerPoint Party (APPP) seeks
to do. From the article: 'According to the APPP, the use of presentation
software costs the Swiss economy 2.1 billion Swiss francs (US$2.5
billion) annually, while across the whole of Europe, presentation
software causes an economic loss of €110 billion (US$160 billion). APPP
bases its calculations on unverified assumptions about the number of
employees attending presentations each week, and supposes that 85 percent
of those employees see no purpose in the presentations.'"
