That's the ones!  I bought a couple of samples to play with, then realised that you had to keep them refreshed, and lost interest.  If you could have 
just sent them an image and they'd keep it displayed until changed, they would have been much more useful.  Shame!  They're still in their box 
somewhere in my deep-litter filing system...

How many could you run at once - more than one?  If you need a processor per button it goes from VERY expensive to ridiculous!  :-)
