Please read the instructions on this page carefully before you attempt to download the files.

**The slideshows on this page were created to be viewed on a screen set to 1024 X 768. Failure to watch them in this resolution will mean that the pictures and words will run off the pages of the show. Basically, it will look like a dog's breakfast. There are easy instructions at the bottom of this page for changing your screen.
So, turn down the lights and crank up the tunes. As always, apologies in advance, but this exe file will not play on a Mac. System requirements to view Awoosh slideshows include a sound card and speakers for your computer.

When you have finished viewing these shows, if you wish you can reset your previous preferences in the exact same way.
The 1024 X 768 screen resolution required for viewing these slideshows is different than the older slideshows that are on this website, which were created to be viewed in 800 X 600. However, technology gallops along, and big screens are the new thing, so these and future shows will be created for larger screens.
