OT............. "Aus, others... Wanting to create a Cd of Pics to send to family and friends. Is there a program that will create a auto-playing slide show? " Try hamrick.com - He offers software - VuePrint -for image viewing that I have used for years and he offers a slide show program - VueSlide -that can be included on a cd rom - I am not sure it will auto play but that sometimes depends on how the computer is set - (I have turned off auto play on mine because I vastly prefer it that way.)

Drew, several people have questioned if Napster downloading is right or wrong. My response is that "if you paid for the album long ago", it's OK. But if you never paid the artist, it's not OK.
