Well I will certainly extend your challenge on to our CEO and President! This is indeed a great new tool combining switches with emerging technology. Now I've noticed there are a lot of digital picture frames/photo galleries out there already, and yes there seems to be little to no switch adapted frames, but I propose this to you as a means of working around this: First acquire a picture frame software tool like Photo Frame Show, or even something like Kid Pix® Deluxe 4, then hook up switches like Mini Click and a switch interface like IntelliSwitch and you instantly have a computer software-based picture frame to look through. I know this isn't a good alternative if you are looking to use an actual digital picture frame device like an LCD display picture frame, however you might be able to use something like Mini Relax with an infrared LCD digital picture frame. Let me know what you think about these ideas. Thanks!

Thanks Mark. I feel strongly that while we need highly specialized hardware and software, we also nee to get it in learners hands. Sometimes adapting things like iPods, picture frames, and $100 computers is what it takes.
