Two Ideas for MRH Click and Spins
I was just listening to the podcast with Joe Fugate, and I thought of two ideas for click and spins.
1) You could try and alter the click and spin technology so you would be able to take a picture of every single part of the layout and stitch them together to a large panorama picture. This would allow you to put something like a click and spin box where you could pan across the entire length of the layout, showing everybody every single inch for further inspection. Of course, this would only work for small to mid-sized layouts.
How do I view a private message?

If there isn't can one be added? Just so the author can see, not everyone.
