When to not use PowerPoint

Have you ever wondered about whether to use PowerPoint, or not, for your presentation? What criteria do you use to help you decide?

Today I presented a speech, and decided to present without slides. Why, you ask? Well, it was a small audience in a conference room, every person received handouts and the audience could easily see the charts I was referring to. Presenting without PowerPoint turned out to be a good decision in this situation. If the audience was over 20 people, then I would have used PowerPoint.

Please post your comments. When do you use PowerPoint, and when not? What helps you decide?

CNN is in the background as I work tonight. My heart goes out to the folk in California affected by the wildfires. 500,000 people evacuated. The magnitude of the disaster is mind-boggling.
