I have a 20th Anniversary Mac on a desk in the kitchen, only used as a TV, radio and CD player. But, it would be pretty nifty if I could hand it some .jpgs and use them as a slide show, even better, as a screen saver.

TAMs work best on 7.6- while they can go to 8 and 9, things tended to get kinda funky as I recall- the TV button stops working with one upgrade, things like that. So, I'd like to keep it on 7.6, if I could just find a slideshow viewer of that vintage.....

Anybody have one?

The old app I used to view JPEGs (JPEGViewer I think it was) could do slide shows. I have no idea where you'd get an old copy though.

Yeah, that icon looks familiar from back in the day... good find, guys. I'll test it out when I get home tonight.

Yep. that will do fine. Only downside is that it only starts on demand.... one that would start as a screen saver would be better, but this works. Thanks.
