If I had unlimited funds, I'd get one of the new notepads just for

reality, so I'm not going to get one, at least not this week. My 12"
iPod, aka my G4 power book, might actually do well for showing photos,
and would be easier to carry than a stack of albums.
What software options are there for showing photos on an older mac? I
abhor iPhoto, though it may work for this purpose, the bar isn't very
high for there to be something better.

why not use Lightroom's slideshow?

I assume you mean the HTML/Javascript created by LR and view it in a web
browser? Good luck getting LR itself to work on a 1GHz PowerPC Mac.
Pretty sure LR is Intel Mac only.
I've tried to display photos to people on my 2003 vintage 12"
PowerBook. I just loaded it up with JPEGs and used Preview to step
through them. Unfortunately, the PB's TN display with its low contrast
and poor viewing angles made that less than stellar. In fact one image
came out almost completely black no matter how it was viewed. But it
*can* work.
I can highly recommend using an iPad for this though. It has a builtin
image gallery (it can be set into rotating picture frame mode if you
like) and it has a gorgeous IPS display. Photos on that device look
great. You should be able to pick up a 1st gen iPad for cheap since the
iPad 2's are in great demand.
