Because some dim-wit PowerPoint addict is going to send you something with
that crap in it?  And said DWPPA is your boss?  And that crap is going to
have the important bits in it?  Because he doesn't know a file size, or a
bandwidth requirement, from a cheese pizza?  Because it's so easy to embed
it in a Windows media clip, drool-and-drop that into his spiffy new
PDF-builder, and send it to you?  While you're on the road using 28.8kbps
dial-up in the company's choice of hotels-too-cheap-to-have-Ethernet?

No?  OK, I give up.  Why?
