Agreed. I teach 60-minute classes using both a chalkboard and 15/20 slides prepared with Latex and Beamer -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beamer_(LaTeX) -- which I post on my course page in advance for to the students to print and use in class.
Slides are useful for many reasons (diagrams that need many colors, animations, etc.) and the chalkboard is useful for answering students' questions and giving more examples if needed. I don't think I could teach well without either of them.
