Bryce. For OSX, use iMovie, iPhoto or simply stick your iBook into the projector and choose the folder where you put your scanned photos as your screen saver. OSX is marvelous!
But for OS9 and before, why not just a simple program as JpegDeux, I think one is called or iView Pro. Search http://www.versiontracker.com for "presentation" or similar. You still need to get the photos into your computer though, but when you have done that forget strange presentation programs like Powerpoint. Not worth the money for that purpose. iMovie is a better choice for that even. I don't know how well the OS9 iMovie is, but in OSX you can even access your whole iPhoto database and choose which pictures you want to go along and get to your iTunes songs and choose the sound too. Awesome. If you had a G4 with OSX these two articles would fit your needs too, but read them anyhow. They are from a non-Mac-Photographers magazine called Imaging-Resource: How to burn a Photo-DVD using windows XP: (hint: it only takes 30 days) <http://www.imaging-resource.com/IRNEWS/archive/v04/20021018.htm#A%20Df> And how to do it in OSX with the iLife-applications: (biggest problem: getting the plastic wrapping off the DVD-R-discs) <http://www.imaging-resource.com/IRNEWS/archive/v05/20030307.htm#An%20f> Hilarious to say the least!
