 An item from today's San Jose Mercury News, an interview with Scott
 McNealy, Sun Microsystems's CEO.
 
 Q. How do you see that [corporate culture] changing over the next 15 years; 
   is there anything that you definitely would not welcome? 
 
 A. ... We had 12.9 gigabytes of PowerPoint slides on our network. And I
   thought, "What a huge waste of corporate productivity." So we banned
   it.  And we've had three unbelievable record-breaking fiscal quarters
   since we banned PowerPoint. Now, I would argue that every company in
   the world, if it would just ban PowerPoint, would see their earnings
   skyrocket.  Employees would stand around going, "What do I do?  Guess
   I've got to go to work."
