We are visiting friends in Spain over New Year's and are considering appropriate gifts to bring.
I come up with the idea of getting a Digital Photo Frame. First is the question of whether it could be made to work in Europe. Being a DC device, I suppose it should be OK with the correct adapter. I e-mailed an inquiry to a store in Chicago that specializes in this sort of thing, and they recommended buying one of these (http://www.world-import.com/WSS630.htm) then plugging the original adapter into that. Any idea whether this would do the job? Otherwise, I would like to know if anybody has a recommendation. There are a number of models and makes available. This would be intended for use as an actual picture frame/conversation piece for use when entertaining (they have a large family), not as a substitute for somebody lacking a conventional computer. A larger display would be better, I think. Any suggestions? On a different topic, I was also considering getting pentop computers for their two older children (ages 10 and 11, I believe). They attend an English school, so the language would not be a barrier to their using it, although it might be more interesting to them as a curiosity rather than being of genuine use to them in school. Being a battery-operated device (I assume), I can't imagine any problem using one in Europe, is that a reasonable assumption?
