Now there's a thought. I've got this big Apple monitor on my computer,
and after installing Leopard, I changed the screensaver settings to
take images from the Pictures folder. Esteemed Wife commented a couple
of days ago that she finds herself halted to watch often enough to
sometimes forget where she was going or why. I took that as a
compliment. <g>
The upshot being that I've stopped a few times to watch as well, and I
have to say the images look pretty damned good popping up and down,
fading in and out, zooming and such. The most surprising thing is that
the screensaver program doesn't discriminate amongst the images. Big,
small, bad, good and, most interestingly, forgotten, images come and
go. I've seen pictures drift past that I don't think I could find on
my hard drive if my life depended on it. And some of them look pretty
good, never mind that I rejected them long ago.
Until now, I hadn't thought of buying an LCD TV and hooking up an old
computer. A 22" screen, wall mounted in my area at the Co-op, could
stop a lot of people in their tracks.
