Software
I have been asked to get a big screen display in our front desk area. The concept was to loop a slide show of various pictures and information etc. Is there a good easy software product for this? We have just a bunch of different pictures .jpg .tif and probably need some general company information mixed in.
Thanks..

i can't take credit for this but here:

it's a thin client from ioconnections. you want to call them because they need to create a custom thin client that has a video card that can handle output to a television. it's real real small and can be controlled remotely w/the sw ioconnections includes. it can also connect to your network, so you can download slide shows or whatever from your file server if you want. then you just have to, well, do what you want.
we paid $660 for it, and their customer service was EXCELLENT. can't say enough good things about them.
the only thing you have to do on your end is purchase a television (our's is a 42" plasma Daewoo) that can handle output from a computer.

on the thin client, it uses xp embedded os and has office viewers already installed, including powerpoint viewer.
sarge, if you meant that you can use powerpoint to create a constant loop of a slide show, then yeah, you need powerpoint.
using the thin client, you can play the show off a usb flash or take it off your file server.

Since this will be located in a more public area you may want to seriously limit connections to your internal infrastructure.
Basically you'd trade off a bit of manageability for security by using a usb drive.
If you keep it connectionless it reduced the security risks greatly, however it's more of a pain when you want to change the slides.
