MultiMedia Type-In Presentation
Cheap digital photo frames can be used for multimedia presentations of typewriter-related videos, news interviews and photos of your collection. If you can’t bring your whole collection to the type-in, at least bring pics! (:
Using digital photo frames for a type-in is a great idea. Looking forward to your updates of the event.
Just make sure they’re not the kind of digital frame that sends data to China:

Ooh, scary. No, they’re pretty old ones. I don’t plug them in to my computer anyway – I copied the photos & videos to a couple of USB keys and stuck ‘em in the frames.
