I Find Karma at 3:42 PM -0800 on 2/2/97, came up with this:

* In an interview at http://www.sjmercury.com/business/sun0126.htm
* Scott McNealy of Sun explains corporate policy regarding PowerPoint:
*
* > We had 12.9 gigabytes of (Microsoft) 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 they 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.''
