  • Hey, is that a flip down computer monitor?

  • Nope, it’s a “recycled” laptop.

    I had an old Pentium II laptop still in good shape, so I inverted the screen, got some recipe software, a wireless adapter, RF keyboard and mouse.

  • Long Distance

    It’s hard to read unless the fonts are enlarged, but it’s perfect for making shopping lists, checking email, streaming music, and listing recipes.

  • Hidden Subwoofer and Speakers

    Total cost was minimal since the only hardware I needed were brackets. I had to bend them into the correct shape.

    Software was $5 for MasterCookbook and I’m using a rrial version of Pivot Pro. (works great but still looking for a free screen inverter for Win2K). I’m using WinAmp, also free, to play digital music.
