Lyle,

What I assume you mean was a projector.

The computer was hooked to a projector that projected onto the wall.

The most common program used to make these "slide shows" is called PowerPoint. It is packaged in the Microsoft Office suite of products. For more information click here

Then you will need a Projector. These are a little on the "expensive" side. We have a couple at my office. The projectors are pretty inexpensive, but the lamps in them are the expensive part. Try $1,500 for the bulb! You can look around at www.cdw.com or at www.amazon.com and try and find some on sale. Toshiba makes a great projector.

Thanks!
Mark
