> I presume I would scan the slides .......WHAT next ?............. >> I do not envy you the task of scanning that number of slides though ! Depending on the quality that is acceptable to you a faster way to get to digital versions would be to copy them with a camera on a simple copy set-up equipped with a transilluminator device of some sort. I have transformed several film slide shows to digital versions and did it this way. For a simple show they can go easily into what has become a widely used presentation format that some consider the bane of presentations and that is a Powerpoint presentation. Done simply these can be quite good. Overusing its "features" typically leads to visual and communication failure. cheerio, andy
