I make a lot of "slide decks" (why are they called this by the
way? - such a stupid name with its connotations of ships,
soap, slipping, man overboard, ...)
Each time someone views my slides, I want some money. This
will encourage me to make more. Good ideas earn money;
rubbish ones wither
and die.
Surely those blighters at Microsoft can figure this out?
Origin of phrase "slide deck"
http://en.wikipedia...iki/Slide_projector
Basically, a group of processed-film-photographs in frames designed to be mechanically handled by a projection system, for individual/sequential display upon a reflective screen via high-intensity lamp. [Vernon, Jun 09 2014]

As in a deck of cards, perhaps? |

I thought this would be for people suffering through a dire presentation, pay to make the idiot slideshow go away or stop working or something. |
|
| |
I suspect there are ways to do this. There are plenty
of sites where image files can be bought or licensed
for use, so I imagine the same thing can be done for
PowerPoints. |

I was hoping it would be a form of overtime pay in
which employers would have to give additional pay
for each slide in a powerpoint presentation. |
|
| |
I'd pay to stop some powerpoints. That would lead to
a nightmarish feedback loop leading to rubbish
powerpoint creators becoming billionaires. |

That's already happened, Bill Gates being a case in point ... |
