Powerpoint = Icepick Between My Eyes

Are billions of dollars in charity enough to clean Bill Gates' karma for all the suffering he has inflicted on the world with his software?

Nothing could ever make up for Powerpoint. It is the greatest atrocity ever inflicted on man.

God, I know.

Yesterday, I had to make a ppt template and then I was given this huge ugly presentation to flow into my templated doc.

I was trying to do one operation and I was stuck. A colleague came over and we were trying to figure something out. She suggested clicking something in this slide template dialogue. I saved first to be safe and then did it. My whole design got fucked to hell. No problem, I'll undo. It's not available. Okay, I'll close without saving and re-open. uh-uh... it must have auto-saved. An hour's work gone and it was one hour before I'm supposed to start my vacation.

That's when I posted.

We're in a mixed Mac/PC office. Too many complications with back and forth.
