My own biggest disapointment is that there’s a tie between slide-based thinking, and powerpoint in particular and a failure to make good decisions and act on them. (See Tufte’s work, for example.) I wanted to tie that to Hamlet’s inability to take action, but it just didn’t work right.

adam, this needed to be done. thank you. for one thing you have exposed a critical flaw int he play: what this play is missing is a 3-5 year strategic vision! and where the hell is the org chart! madness!

Why didn’t you tell me that before? :)
(More seriously, I shared drafts with 20-odd folks, none of whom had seen that.)

There are many PowerPoint presentations of Hamlet. Probably the most famous is http://bmillar1.users.btopenworld.com/hamletppt1.pps This presentation is at least two years old: http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=ac00ue%24e8e%241%40gw.liquidhome.com&output=gplain Maybe you could 'adapt' a lesser-known play? :) Sincerely, Richard
