I, too, love slide shows. More than any other single thing, color
slides got me interested in photography in the first place. My old
Kodak Carousel still gets plenty of use, including with b&w slides made
from negatives or prints. However, I have never seen any of my MF
transparencies projected. Someday, maybe.

I love slide shows - I grew up with them - I don't anyone who doesn't. And you're right about the quality. It's not with relish that I say how less common and practical they have become.
I should counter the trend and dust off my projector.
Thanks,

Elias et al.:
Your view of slide shows may just show the American bias. Slide shows or better multimedia projection with 1 to 9 projectors is alive and well in Europe and elevated to a fine art. Look at he list of current slide shows in this online (and hardcopy!) magazine dedicated to the art:
http://www.fotoforum.de/content/links/links_diashow.php? linkauswahlfeld=KATdiashows
If you have ever compared a Rolleiflex (or Contax 645 etc.) slide projected from transparency next to a similar digital picture projected with one of those "beamers" you will know why people still choose analog over digital projection.
Michael Martin ("Desert of the Earth") explains this much more convincingly on his website: http://www.michael-martin.de/
He likes the low light ability of digital cameras but much prefers the analog over the digital workflow (something I can really relate to). His slide show are all shot with Leica R8 cameras and lenses on Fuji Velvia 50 and sometimes Provia 400. Much of the time he does his landscape photography travel with a BMW motorcycle!
BTW: Anyone selling a Rolleivision 66 dual projector? Jan

...To project on the wall? For real? Rollei is dropping digital cameras
and making b&w slide film for the six people out there still putting
slide shows on?
