What To Do With Those First Generation Photo Frames?
First time accepted submitter icepick3000 writes "There are probably many digital photoframes unused these days laying around. Mine is from the first generation meaning you can only insert a compact flash card and display photos. Newer models nowadays can display weather, news, and stocks. Anyone have some good idea's how to give these old frames a second life? I have been thinking about compact flash cards that support wifi... maybe someone has a better idea?"
Bravo for saying what needed to be said so politely!
I thought this was Slashdot. This should be the home of people hacking devices and breathing new life into them.

Like your local animal shelter - we use them at ours to display pictures of adoptable animals in local businesses, a volunteer drives around once a week with updated CF/SD cards. Much better than static posters.

Where are the nerds today?
Your first grade teacher was wrong, there are such things as stupid questions.
I think you mean second generation photo frames. The first generation had superior DPI, didn't use any power and was a lot cheaper. It was also often made of wood.
Only dumb birds land downwind.
Help the new owner load some pics of the grandkids from their kids' Facebook page.
