Note about PowerPoint Slideshows

CWE clients will often find notes or comments added beneath each slide in some PowerPoint presentations. These were added by the author for use during presentation, and will nearly always provide additional knowledge about an issue. Be sure to read the notes beneath each slide, rather than view the show.
