I knew you were kidding but I've been giving some thought to reconciling the apparent contradiction of dissing slides while using MSPaint. I'd say both make fun of the cultural lust for the "perfect copy," whether it's the shuddering sensitivity that insists on analogue projection to gauge delicate wisps of glaze, or the graphics geek addictively demanding more resolution! more resolution! This gets into what you're saying about the therapeutic slap of seeing minimalist art in situ.

Also, this is the second time someone's called my interest in old tech a religion: it's the price you pay for having convictions in a post-relativistic artworld. The second post about "artblogs" I'm working on touches on some of the other issues you raised.
