first a complaint .... i open it.. it fills the screen completely ... even the bar that i dont know what it is called... so every note i type here.. will involve closing the program.. and reopenning it ... i guess i would like if it ran like a screen saver.. so i could do other things.. and be surprised what pops up when i minimize windows ... now.. hopefully i can remember ... first pic of jean's memorial garden.. looks like green arrow on left ... and there is a big green picea???? on the right.. that looks like it has white growth or cones.. any chance at an ID .... i will reopen the slide show and check properties.. to see if i can get a pic name ... brb.. lol .. couldnt do it ... other thoughts. ... i like on the third version down.. if i hit pause.. i then control the page turning for the duration ... i can skip those that are zone improper.. and linger on those i like... love the purple and pink cone pix... what kind of camera are you using.. with what attachments... i always presumed saybrook gold came out of saybrook OH.. girards or al fournash .... surprised to see your mass planting ... i know you guys have a lot of PPending plants... is it correct that all are NOT patented .. in other words.. you propagate salable plants .. rather than just your own?? i have a plant .. one of my first .. so i wasnt a nomenclature freak back then .. that i thought was Picea abies WB .... i presumed it was just a witches broom off P.a. ... but i see you have P.a. 'witches BROOD' ... now i am wondering if mine isnt that ... and its under a foot of ice and snow... wonder if i have a pic on the hard drive.. presuming your show didnt wipe me out.. lol ... never mind .. my database says: Picea glauca 'Witches Broom Seedling' .. pic below regardless .... which has absolutely nothing to do with your P. a. .. but i apparently digress ... and note my ton thumb behind it.. why are your pix so much better than mine???? it has to be the camera .. maybe the operator... finally .. many of your specimens look a bit sickly .. if you send me one of each ... i will nurse them along for you .. to insure your future success ..... rotflmbo .... ken

They have no problem wasting your time. At $100 for that program they only need a tiny few from each site that gets posted on and sadly there are always the few who will bite without investigating a program's real worth

Windows Movie Maker - it comes with every (Windows) computer. It is by far the easiest to use and gives the best results. It does not burn a DVD, but you can create the whole show - then using your burning software (Roxio, Nero, etc) burn it from there. I have tried many DVD creators - and Movie Maker is tops. Also, the pictures are not cut off when viewed on a TV as some slideshow creators do. Very easy to add transitions, if you desire, music, titles, etc. It is under Accesories.

of course, there are many ways to burn PowerPoint to DVD for viewing it on TV: http://www.acoolsoft.com/knowledges/methods-to-burn-powerpoint-to-dvd.html You can compare the cons and pros of these ways and then choose the best way for you.
