FWIW, it might be sensible to not fully discount the HTML option - seting an RPi up to start a browser on boot in full-screen "kiosk mode" is easy, and you could have it load either a page served by the RPi itself, or hosted elsewhere, whichever you prefer. I'd say knocking up information pages in HTML would be quicker and easier than using Tk or similar to write a GUI app. If you wanted to get real clever, you could look at something like NeTV, which could take an incoming HDMI feed and overlay text onto it, so she could be watching telly and still have reminders etc appear (it wasn't clear from your original question whether you intended for the TV to still be used for watching things, or solely dedicated to displaying information). I've not used them, though, so that's not a personal recommendation, just another option to consider. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
