to "wheel out" a computer because it's there already as part of the
environment I live in, just like the fridge or the TV.

Well not everyone has one funnily enough and not everyone wants to
invest
a large sum of money in a laptop (especially since desktops are cheaper
and have better perfomance) just to cart some photos around. Plus you
can just hand a photo album to someone and go do something else , you
don't have to operate it or teach them how to operate it themselves
just
so they can view some photos. Seems like technology for its own sake to
me but everyone has their point of view. *shrug*

ACD-See will make any folder into a slide show instantly. I think Windows
XP has a similar feature

Hey guys,
They have contacted me.
And they are now deciding what they should do.
But guys i love Film,
You see film still has the advantage on blow ups.
And for an extra 3 quid i can have a cd made, so i can put them on the
computer.
Digital is great but, for 2000 grand for a digital SLR where a 35mm SLR
with the same features is 400.
Have a great week
James.

But these are basic cameras kits; by the time you've added in the price of
the "extras" any serious photographer is going to need (extra memory,
decent flash gun, additional lenses, carrying case, etc) you will have
incurred several hundred pounds worth of additional costs.

Well, my digital camera cost me well under £100 - as, actually, did my
35 mm machine, but it's a lot more expensive to run!

Yes, but not two million, which is what the OP said!

As you would with 35mm kit, and even several hundred pound is still a touch
less than the 2 million quid that young mister James seems to think a
digital SLR costs...

OOps!
My mistake - in a hurry and read the original figure as two thousand!
Sorry.
