Bob, I've been trying to get some of my still images out as slide shows using an older verson of an app called Image Q. It's small and simple and realy well done but in trying to make a show-to-go I've run into a problem in size! It's a cool idea if the average size of a diskette were 12 mb and not 1.44 mb!!! I do dream don't I? Gif delivers the smallest file size but the executable part added on makes each gif approx 1.3 mb!! not 67k!! I got my hands on HSC Interactive but after this slide show stuff I've spent the equivalent of $3,000 worth of anxiety so I might as well buy a par and HD and just put out to video! This will mean that I can enter the world of the tube and not look back! Thanks for the direction, Gary

Gary: /__________From your message___________\\ I've been trying to get some of my still images out as slide shows using an older verson of an app called Image Q. __________________________________________ Funny you should mention ImageQ as I just sent in for the upgrade to version 3.3 (well, it was 3.something). Version 2.2 was terrific, the new one sounds worth the $69 fee. Have you used the proprietary hkw compression on your images or using JPEG images to keep your file sizes down? Even with compression I find the shows end up spanning several disks. But the shows do look good and they are easy to put together. Yesterday I briefed one of the older principals in our firm on the rudiments of using ImageQ. He spends inordinate amounts of time on the road and he's really getting into customizing his own laptop shows for his marketing efforts. Bob

Bob, Sorry for not responding right away-was experiencing deadline delirium! About Image Q.. I picked up the phone after your msg and phoned Waterloo, Ontario where I-Q is developed and had the latest specs sent to me!!! It has developed into a really HOT package for what it's for!! The one feature I was hoping for (been looking for) is true "fade in & out" between files. It's got it! The trouble I'm having is tracking down a street price retailer. Do you know one?! Retail is 749.99999 but street according to them is about 400.00 No one I called even heard of it except videotex who put it on a list of stuff for me to buy. A guy can really get fried if not looking! The trouble here in Dallas (if it was in the news where you are) was last week- 8 masked asians robbed Cyrix corp of $1 MILLION IN 486 cpu's!!!! new what they were doing- went straight to the booty! I suspect it was the Mighty Moron Power Rangers but have little proof! Gary

Gary: The Image North folks suggested that I call PC Zone or PC Warehouse. If you remind me (e-mail will do) I can retrieve a phone number for you at work Mon. I paid over $600 for it so don't bum me out by telling me about snagging it for $400 OK? I just got the upgrade to ImageQ 2.3. You gotta see the page curl and peel transitions, awesome. Bob

If they were masked, how could anyone tell if they were Asians?

Alan The bandits put on a riviting performance of madam butterfly and had an autograph opportunity afterwards plus they got away in a Toyota! other than that I'm not sure! Cyrix has great cameras I guess and can't afford good security!? Gary I
