No, I haven't read OT in several years.  I still remember having 200+ 
messages a day, and how much time it took up ;)

Fair point - it was just pointing you to a "real" version of this

IIRC, it's not the same thing.  Isn't this the model with a camera in 
the back?  If it's the one I'm thinking of, then it just takes a picture 
of whatever is behind it, and uses that as the desktop wallpaper.

And if it IS the same thing, that horrible frame ruins it.  Surely they 
could find a better color than *black*.

Ben, those PC-HUDs (like in a F-18) where are they manufactured?

As for the wall, use something more relax, beige or gray, maybe with a 
fine grain in it.  This way we'll see better on the screen.  And talking 
of which, I suggest you dim the background color (make it slightly 
opaque) it would make the display more readable for the user.

Just couple ideas on the already pretty nice work!
   Simon
