I have gotten test python scripts to run smoothly on my RaspPi that display full-screen graphics. I am using the Tkinter 8.5 & Python Imaging Library 1.1.7 libraries for this. My next step is to edit my scripts to fetch weather and news data. I also need to finish my mirror housing with wood working tools- I will be able to do this next time I go home.
