Powerpoint is the biggest waste of bandwidth in the world - ever have to download a 4 MB powerpoint file on a 28.8 modem with containes nothing but a bunch of bulleted items - you could put this in ASCII or in the body of an email in 20K. Actually Powerpoint is the #1 presentation creation software in the world Paul. Generally it's usefulness is not determined by how long it takes to download it at 28.8 but rather how effective it is at letting someone create presentation content; what it was designed for.
