Over the last several decades, I have accumulated thousands of Kodachrome and Ectachrome 35 mm slides of family, travels and whatnot.

The few people that are willing to put up with watching them are asleep within the 1/2 hour. And the slides jam and viewing ceases to be fun.

Now my question: Who do I see to put the slides on video? Is it cost prohibitive? Do any of you have any suggestions as to solve the above problems? Would appreciate your serious responses.

Take 'em to Wal-Mart and have then put on a CD. I’ll bet parties at your place are a real hoot.

tcburnett is right, get them put on video or CD but edit first and cut out all the duplicates and poor shots.
