APS Slide Presentation Guatemala

I know a few of you here collect Guatemalian stamps. At my club meeting this past Monday we watched an interesting slide presentation on the stamps from the late 1800's to 1950. If anyone belongs to a club with a slide projector, I suggest getting involved in this. There are a ton of presentations that can be requested. We usually have a different one every other month.

When you say slides are you talking about the old fashioned kind? I've seen some of those. I thought the were trying to update all of their presentations to PowerPoint. It would be nice if they did!

Greg,
Yes actual slides on a carousel and you have to play a cassette tape for the explanation of each slide and advance forward when you here the chime. I think it has been a slow process to update the catalog to powerpoint. Plus, I am not sure how many members are computer savy or even have laptops or a computer to show the updated presentations. I think the APS site lists which presentations are on powerpoint and which ones are not. Either way there is usually some new knowledge I can take away from program.

I got to thinking about it and I'm not sure I even know anyone with a slide projector any more. I've probably got 1000's of them myself. I always took slides when overseas.

My father in law had some slides and maybe a projector too. I think he was considering transfering them to CD or DVD. I can't remember if they lost them in their house fire a few years ago.

Our Club has a slide projector that we managed to purchase for $10.00 to enable us to use the ASPS programs and they have been useful. The only problem we have had is finding those that aren't so specialized as to bore the majority. I have more or less been charged with the APS program presentations and I normally preview them and rescript them to present myself but that's just my style. My instructor background has me personalize the material rather than use the tapes. My only problem with the power-point would be finding a projector to facilitate a presentation. Re-do on DVD for presentation on a a DVD player would seem to have broader utility.
