An old laptop needn’t be a useless lump of junk - it can be turned into a digital picture frame!

This article from GRYNX appeared earlier today on Slashdot, and explains step-by-step how the author turned an old Dell Latitude into an elite picture frame, using the freeware IrfanView package to provide slideshows. The laptop didn’t have a hard disk, so the cunning fellow mounted a network share over his wireless network to provide the images.

Total cost? Apparently about €21.
