Remember though, computational PowerPoint is not the same thing as expressive PowerPoint. :)

Is there a functional PowerPoint?

No, but speaking of functional, there is a FixedPoint. It's that point in the presentation when your bleary eyes have seen fifty slides and now all subsequent slides look the same.

Honorable mentions:

GunPoint: boss made the presentation mandatory; attendance is checked.

Disap-Point: presenter forgot laptop in hotel, uses overhead projector with markers.

NeedlePoint: presenter applied cross-stitch simulating Script-Fu in GIMP to images; people at the back clean their glasses and squint in disbelief.

CounterPoint: presenter keeps jumping ahead twenty slides and working backward, then forward again.

StandPoint: large crowd shows up, enticed by free snacks.
