Re: [applekeynote] How do you tell someone they have bad breath...er a bad PP presentation?

Don,

I have so many friends that are not Mac users that this is a truly hard question. If you mention any other product, it is like re-starting the OS wars. One of my dearest friends suggests that I just don't get "it" with it being the superiority of their product. It isn't the product, it is the presentation!

I often wonder if there is a book or maybe even a (sigh) PPT presentation that one could make them go through with one of their presentations side by side and they could learn.

I have worked with 6th grade students who got the "less is better", glitz is ok, too a point. But they knew that most people can read!

I just withstood a dear friend's PP presentation. It broke just about every rule/suggestion 
presented by Les. Long sentences. Reading the screen. Few graphics. 

Dull. Boring. Agonizing.

Of course, it makes my KN presentations look so much better, but I want to help my friend. 
What should I do? Send him a metaphoric bottle of Scope?

How do people here tell friends that they're putting people through PowerPoint Hell?
