well one thing you could do is get a connector adapter switch that allows you to add that extra monitor to your existing pc (dual monitor set up), then you could set up that monitor to simply play a slide show that you have set up on your pc like you can do in the screensaver settings or use a special program to do it. Seems like an option that would possibly work and not be too expensive. You can get a USB 2.0 to VGA adapter that would allow you to simply use one of your USB ports to plug it into, or get a little usb hub to sit on your desktop would be even easier, but this should do what you want. Here is a link to one type of adapter. IF you do a google search for "USB to VGA" adapter you will find many, now if you your monitor has a DVI instead of VGA connection you would need USB to DVI adaptor, most monitors if they have DVI also have VGA connections, but if it is older it may only have VGA. here is the link to one on newegg so you can look at the specs and cost and comments. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815118301 here is a good article about this http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/06/08/add_a_monitor_using_usb/ you know some of the new pc and laptops come with more than one monitor plug in on them if that happens to be the case then all you need to do is simply plug that monitor right into your pc in the other open connection. this one is at a better price point http://www.buyextras.com/betusb20tosv.html?gclid=CPG59_TyspICFQw_gQodpWKxQQ Here is a link that might be useful: adapter

Actually , that's a good idea, but I was thinking she could put it in her office ( they both work in same place) and I'm sure they already have all that other stuff. They both make a lot of money. Can you even get a 19 inch LCD or plasma tv for that little?

Mine takes a little sd card,it's like the one that comes with the camera. I hook my camera to my computer using a usb cable. I then make a folder with just the pics i'm going to want to use in my frame. You can use any pictures you have on your computer. I bought a Targus card reader writer. sd/sdhc/mmc ( those are all the diffent cards) at Walmart for just a few dollars. It hooks up to your computer by an usb. Put your little card into this and plug it into usb port. Open you folder with your pics and choose to copy them to the reader. When finished take the little disc out and insert it into the opening thats on the picture frame. Turn on frame and it will read all the pictures. There are all kinds of setting to how your picturres display. If you only want the pictures thats on your camera disc and not any others you can take the disc from the camera and put it right into the frame. Then you have to buy another disc ( sd card) for your camera. I have one folder of pictures of my daughters growing up and now with families of there own and use just those pictures for one of my frames. It's really very easy, i've probably made it sound harder but it's not.
