Software Idea

I just thought of the niftiest idea for a computer program.

I call it the Desktop Mirror (patent pending).

It works like this:

After installing this little utility, one can have a little mirror on one's computer screen. The size would be configurable, of course, and there'd be an option to always have the window on top. You'd run the program, and a new window would open that would be a mirror.

Let's say you have the window be about five inches square on a monitor with a resolution of 1024 x 768. You'd park it, say, at the top right corner. Then, whilst writing your email or reading your salon.com article at the computer, you could take a quick peak and make sure your hair was combed.

Or let's say you're at the computer and you own a webcam. You're about to get on AIM or MS Netmeeting or something... but first you want to make sure you don't have a piece of spinach stuck between your teeth. What to do, what to do?

I'll tell you what to do: fire up Desktop Mirror (void where prohibited) and look at your teeth to make sure they're sparkling clean... then turn on the webcam.

Nothing could be simpler.
