Stupid Send in Time Question

[Judy Perry]

Thank you, Sarah.

So, do I have this properly?:

If I used my brain and came up with an intelligent naming system for my 
images I could use a loop, but, I didn't and so I won't;

It's not a slideshow, so that's out;

and, that leaves

Use wait with messages... think I'll go with that!

Thank you again!

Judy
