Thanks Curt.  I tried it out with my TV first....worked great - the 
images appeared abit fuzzy but we could understand what they were == 
I suppose it has to do with digital setup.  All I needed was an 
S-Cable to do that.  The PB has an S-Video cable outlet.

Not sure what my friend has yet, but next I'll test it on my inFocus 
projector and see how it works.

I can already tell the limitations of a direct iPhoto Slideshow = it 
is great for quick/dirty viewing but if you want to go slide by slide 
and talk about the pics or whatever, you need more control = the iDVD 
export or Keynote seem to be the next answer.

I'll let you know.
