Time to revamp all my PowerPoint slides

I just finished reading the latest installment of Presentation Zen and have decided that the time has come to kill my old PowerPoint presentations. I have tortured too many young doctors with my presentations. Time to turn a new leaf. It won't be easy and that may be the point. PowerPoint makes it too easy to fill the slides with non-essential text and graphics. I'm going cold-turkey. No slides until the talk is written and rehearsed in my own head. Then I'll sit down and decide what graphs or pictures will enhance what I am saying. No more text that just echoes what was just said.
It may be a bit late for a New Year's resolution but I'm giving it a shot.
