[Nottingham] Nottingham Digest, Vol 301, Issue 2

[tony atkins]

on the subject of camera's and the nonsense that passes for photographs does anyone know of a program that can make a slide show of the stills and possibly the umpteen 1 minute "atrocity" movies that can made by such antiquated / tedious devices - oh not that "crash bang what a load of trollope" 'dvd-slideshow' or equally unreliable and dreadful qdvdauthor - no i need something that works - any clues? anyone?

even on the windoze front would help
