General Description
===============
The SK Tip Board (TouchPoint Version) is a general purpose tip and information board that has been designed to give the owner extensive flexibility to customize its appearance and operation. It has also been designed to minimize land impact (prims) and lag. it can be as few as a single prim without the photo cycler and 3 prims with the photo cycler. The board uses TouchPoint technology that eliminates the need to have a prim for each touchable button or icon. They are simply incorporated into the board's texture. A single Config notecard is used to set all parameters, including TouchPoints.
The complete list of supported functions and how to activate them is described later in this notecard. The board can be made of regular prims, sculpts or mesh. The example boards also include an optional Photo Cycler in which you can put any number of textures or snapshots. They will be displayed in a sequence at the rate and fade timeyou specify in the Photo Cycler description field. If you don't want to use the Photo Cycler, simply unlink and delete it.
** NOTE: This board uses TouchPoint technology to reduce the land impact to the minimum possible. In many configurations, it can have a land impact of only 1 because it does not require any button prims regardless of the number of buttons. If you don't care about the land impact and want easier setup, you can use the prim version of this tip board. Functionally, both versions are nearly identical.

Great tip board with DISPLAY NAME of tipper - what a difference!!
I was so tired of trying to figure out who tipped me and to properly thank them. The took that work away!! The display name is what is reported to me, makes thanking the tipper so much more efficient!!
