CGI for Slide show

[David Bovill]

And as for Flash - you don"t need the development environment. You can
download one of the various flash files that will play the slide show and
just use it - you can even use open source (Lazlo) free server side Flash
generation if you really needed to - but for most of your needs I"d guess
you can just use an existing swf file that is scripted to take the result of
the cgi.

And yes the advantage of AJAX would be the the GUI responsiveness if you
needed to enhance the slide show later with something that required
interaction while the slide show was playing - the flash / Lazlo flash could
do the same
