I had trouble with one type of food box, a carton one, but another with a plastic film on it worked quite well and i even got cooking tips i haven't seen before.:-) Right now though, i don't think reading displays and the like wil be an option since you can't do it in realtime, you first have to change a value or something, then take a picture, go back change the value on teh display again and so on. Slow going. Having said that though, i think i'll go and experiment with my microwave just because i can, although the tilting guide will probably drive me nuts.:-) /Krister
