i recently mentioned the possibility of using a prism ontop of the mpc1000 display as an easy means of tilting the the display to a more comfortable angle. if you dont remember prisms from gradeschool science class, heres the wikipedia entry on "prisms"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_(optics)
heres some links for prisms that can be bought online, ranging from plastic to crystal to glass, and from cheap to pretty spendy.
these can usually be found a science supply and teaching outlets, if you can think of any nearby that would let you try this on your mpc,
i would REALLY love to see someone succeed in this

i know how resourcefull you 1000 users can be, so lets roll this idea around a bit? if noone tried this, i will at a later time and let yous dudes know how it worked out, the only possible problems i can think of are if the prism were to mess the color spectrum up on the 1000 display (maby in a good way?) or if the angle were too high a degree of tilt
