but why?

[Sir Sam]

cool.

 

but why?

 

and how do they pay?

 

 

hmm, double posted somehow

 

 

why? because I had to make something

 

they pay with a credit card - the card reader is above the display

[aemsee]

 

 

why? because I had to make something

 

 

"had to" as in it was a required project, or "had to" because you have a serious caffeine problem? :D .

Aaahhh it makes soooo much sense!!! The tipical male only watches a move once or twice if it comes on tv. But on the other hand a female will wear a dvd out watching it so many times. By having your own personal DVD rental machine in your house, you could profit money off of your girlfriend or wife. This man Is light years ahead of his time!!! :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

WOW :eek: . Very impressed :cheers:

:agree:

 

...but, like the others, i'm still wondering why? School project? Just because you could? Just to see if you could? Just something to do?

Ha.

 

Ya we had to build something for the class, we decided to build this. We initially had it designed for 4 DVDs but cut that back to make it less complex. More DVDs would have been more in materials and much more work building it. The additional coding would have been very minor work.

I wasn't at the school, but I was in Ft. Collins today for work. Does that count?
