Yes, drakino, it is a compaq 7730 series. It's the perfect laptop for this application. You do not really need anything with supercomputing power. You could actually go with something even less as long as it had a cd drive and have the screensaver program pull the pics off the disc. Like I said, this 7730 is a 233mhz and it handles everything fine. I would like to see other peoples pictures of cool innovations using practical parts. "Empeg is the mother of invention"
