750 slide Powerpoint - WTF?

Sorry, I have worked for some seriously obsessive companies who use PowerPoint heavily. The worst I ever saw was around 80 slides and even that was far too much. I think the largest presentation that I have used was around 50 slides and that was for a day long training course with a lot of graphical content to explain how stuff works.

But 750 slides? Who on earth thinks that this is a suitable use of time, effort and computer resources? Madness. A committee in government by any chance? A bit of 'blue sky thinking' and other such madness.

Come on, spill the beans on who or I will call bullt

Best not to name names, but it's not public sector or government, it's a blue-chip telecoms company.

I think they've whittled it down to "700ish" overnight, and many are in fact going to be hidden slides, but nonetheless i am still mighty bloody glad I haven't got to sit through it all today in an overcrowded room with the a/c on too hot.
