Talk is cheap up equipment and time is not so I think we're beating a deadhorse with the Powerpoint projection system (too much like work). I haven't seen that many slide shows to be the ultimate judge but I rather see that scanning time reserved for SPORR updates. Most of the shows I've seen could be improved by organizing the slide in a logical order. I wish I could collect frequent flier milage for all the trips we made between Wyoming, California, and Kirkwood, etc., etc. (I plead guilty and throw myself on the mercy of the list). Another advantage is to take a picture of map or some signiture scenery shot to help put the slide show in perspective. It doesn't need to be a travel log but they help break up all the trains/railroad images, and let the audience refresh their attention spans (Rte 66 shot helped back in February, and I think the seal pictures compliement my California shots last fall).
