Jerry,

I wonder how a half-dozen flat panel displays around the house would look
with ever-changing pictures? ;-)

I'm off to Home Depot this morning to buy another shelving unit. I have
lately been sorting through years of work and organizing and scanning and
printing more stuff that needs shelving. I've reduced size to 8 x 10's and
dyptychs and triptychs on 13 x 19. Haven't even begun doing color.  I hear
Corbis is shipping all their pictures to a mine in Pennsylvania. Maybe that
is the solution.
