I'll be donating a 50 or 90 MHz, 210 MB, floppy-based laptop and 15" monitor, but as far as commercial presentation 'authoring' software, DVD burners, . . I don't think I can justify the extra cost for this one project. Basically my initial thought was something like using simple, freeware WAV/MP3 players and/or a (*.jpg) 'slide slow' programs under DOS, Win95, . . . (gasp, I apologize) with 'batch' files/macros, C/Basic language programs, . . . (I'm really showing my age:-) looping on a 'screen-saver program' until a mouseclick/keypress starts the audio (visual) presentation.
I DO appreciate everyone's replies, will delve into every one of them, and will keep everyone posted.
And as they say in 'Ol Time Radio, "Please keep those cards and letters coming !"
Regards.
P.S. And AtariAmarok, thank you for alerting me to the ANL work. I worked for them some decades ago and I'll have to write the DOE a nasty letter for wasting our taxpayer dollars by not commercializing/'productizing' it yet.:-)
