hi everyone -

   here's a children's story i wrote and narrated.  the tools i used to
create this were openoffice.org impress (on linux), camtasia studio (on
windows -- to add the narration) and quicktime pro (on my ibook -- to
compress to ipod video format.)

     the duration of the story is 7.5 minutes. the file size is about 7 megs.

        i should have probably used a smaller title (or no title) on each
slide and a larger font.

         i bet before the end of the year we'll see some nice slideshow
creation programs for the new ipod. i love openoffice.org, but it
would be sweet to use a program specifically designed to create
the best possible visual and audio experience on the new ipod.

           - phil
