Nice illustration, you must have spent a lot of time on it. The belts should have a camera somewhere at the back that scans the post-it-s into the computer. After scanning a litte robot hidden behind the monitor takes the note off the belt and discards or archives it. That way you have the convenience of scribble notes and you always have a fresh piece of belt available. |

Odd...the link worked from some of my machines but not others. Try this new one. Not much to see, but hopefully it will work this time. |

Worked for me, and I won $50 for looking at it. Thanks half! |

You're welcome. I'll take my percentage in small unmarked coins, please. |

Could you introduce a fast-lane and a slow-lane - possibly on either side of the monitor? The important post-it notes would be attached to the fast-lane and would rotate into view frequently, whereas the low-priority ones would go into the slow-lane and could therefore disappear behind the conveyer for long periods of time. A small recepticle underneath the conveyer would collect the notes which fell-off after a period of time, acting as an archive. |

I'm tempted to build a prototype of this idea using one of those motorized tie racks. Maybe use a serial or parallel interface... Interesting... |

It would be pretty simple to implement on/off, even some speed control with a parallel interface. (Honestly, I've been looking for an excuse to buy the hardware to tinker with USB hardware interfaces. That's the real reason I was thinking about USB.) |
