Testing a slideshow on .mac

[Electromen]

I'm testing software called Show It.
If you can see this test slideshow and it loads quickly, I may buy the program. Show It builds a slideshow to music in minutes with little effort.

It's made to upload directly to FTP sites. I've found a way to upload to .mac but want to see how quickly it loads and plays.

Take a quick look please and comment.
This is not a crtique of the work just a test for speed and playing.
If I buy it I'll build a better slideshow.

Click here please

Thanks, Greg

Took about 5 seconds to load here via my sluggish DSL.

Great Peter, Thanks for the quick test.
Getting it to load onto .mac took some time to figure out.

Loaded fine for me here to Greg....

Just as a side thought... Have you looked into soundslides?
Here is a sample of a good show

And a second sample of a not so good show....:tongue:

In both cases this software melts very well with Garage band and you can do some really cool stuff. More important... it is a GREAT way to tell a story.

The first pic took about 2 seconds to load, the entire show was loaded in about 5 seconds.

Great shots, by the way...

Loaded up rather quickly but the zooming in and out is irritating if it can't be turned off. As Doug Barber mentioned, Soundslide seems to be the one of choice a lot of folks are jumping on these days. I'm seeing it a lot on the net for presentations.

Works pretty well here, XP, DSL, Firefox.

I really like Soundslides. Great idea.

It took about 2 seconds for the first picture to load and about 5 or 6 seconds for the slide show to start. I'm using an iMac with cable modem.
