E-mail from Norman

From my friend Norman, who works as a translator:

I decided to pop for a copy of Tufte's essay . . . . We translate a lot of PowerPoint presentations and I have had to sit through my share as well. The only good one was last November at a conference. A professor of linguistics used PP slides the way we used to use handouts (i.e. he did not read his presentation from the slides). Needless to say there were no bullet points.
