[DuoList] Better End Than a Landfill

[Samual Acorn]

wouldnt it be easier just to detach the screen (2 screws) and fold it
backward onto the 'bottom' of the 'top ;) and slide the result into a
wood frame that had brackets to hold it?
no case destruction required... and if you wanted the 'top back just
remove it from its
digipic frame and reattach the screen... 
..also..  wouldnt it be more interesting to put the speaker to use and
have audio clips from the person being displayed? or perhaps sounds
from the environment in which the photo
was taken? (ocean sounds for a pic of you and yours standing on a beach) 
 [look for an addon to applescript called 'akua sweets'... at least i
think thats how its spelled]
or... for a 'geek' environment (server room... computer repair shop...
computer filled bedroom...)  just leave the laptop intact and wrap
wire around the 'joint' where the lcd
attaches to the rest of the computer and hang it from the wall ;)
(yes.. uber geek...
fits right in with 'harddrive clocks' and motherboard picture frame borders)
-or- 
in the case of the 'ubergeek' server room.. use a slideshow
screensaver and dumb terminal
program... power saving [26watt vs 100watt] head for a server... -and-
a digipic frame ;)

no sense in making something useless out of something still
usefull.... (digipic frames
always seemed like a waste of a good LCD display to me...)

ok... i think ive rambled enough... 

PS does anyone know where to get a 'slideshow' screensaver that supports jpeg???

PPS no, this wasnt a gripe... i typed ideas as my mind went from one
thing to another
