A few years ago I digitized a few thousand 35mm slides for a friend. Now he wants to do a show using these digital photos. He has no lap top, no smart phone, no digital camera. Is there a projector that will do this from a thumb drive or a disc?

Many DVD/Blu-ray players have a USB port and will display photos.

I realize that Smitty... You can plug a DVD player in to a projector.
I can't answer as to if you can get a projector that will allow USB playback on its own.

Why a projector? Projectors are not cheap. This one accepts input from a USB flash drive, is highly rated, and is reasonably low priced relative to other models. https://www.amazon.com/Epson-VS240-SVGA ... B0119FYO74The page at Amazon has a link for the User Manual which confirms that it will play media on a USB connected device such as a Flash/Thumb drive. -steve
