Anyone who has been around here for more than 2 minutes knows to expect
someone (hello Mr VAXman !) to point out whenever someone assumes
everyone runs that Windows game and fully capable of displaying
proprietary file formats not related to VMS.

Such pointing out of proprietary file formats is an inherent part of
c.o.v. culture. It is those who make a big fuss whenever this is raised
that need to grow up and gain a sense of humour and perspective.


And with the proliferation of Apple laptops in younger professionals,
"ppt" is no longer really that common in many circles.
