    You could set up a switch on your front door that greets the peeps as they walk in then returns back to the slide after a few minutes... :)

    I think its a very cool Idea.
    Us men get very bored looking at the same picture all of the time. It would be blinding to have a picture that changes all the time.
    Think about it, if you have a picture of your g/f or b/f that you like but you like all the others aswel, dont waste valuable modding space in your room, make them into a mod. Modding Rules:rock:

    If someone did it with something more basic. That would be mighty impressive.

    Ah, the impetuousness of youth...

    Lemme see here. Rather than looking at pictures of your loved ones, or the good times you've had, you would rather:

    o Edit documents on the crapper

    o Receive faxes

    o Monitor your network traffic

    o <Insert random extremely geeky thing right here...>

    The expression "get a life" comes to my mind, but of course since I'm here posting to this forum its clear I don't have much of a one either. Sigh.

    I think its a cool gizmo. Innovative, useful mod.

    Right, see ya! I'm tired of changing the batteires in my gameboy, so I'm off to hook it up to a nuclear power station. You can all tell me what a great mod it is when I get back. :hehe:

    And remember, 'The goggles! They do nothing!'

    I personally don't think the electricity req'd to run it would be worth it.
    :idea: Perhaps the guy who made it likes it.

    Would it be better if the pictures were of PC mods? :D ;)
