Help my dad display pictures of the grandkids.

Do you know of any digital picture frames that will display photos from a USB thumb drive, rather than a memory card?

My siblings and I are looking for a really easy to use digital picture frame for my dad. He wants something where he can pull pictures off his computer onto his thumb drive, stick the thumb drive into the side of the frame, and then voila! - slide show. All of the picture frames I've seen require hooking up the frame to either your camera or your computer, and transferring to one those little storage cards, and he just doesn't want to deal with that. I think it's because he has no desire to learn how to do something new. Or maybe because he doesn't want more random wires in his office. Do you know if anything simple like this exists? And if it doesn't, why not?

All of the Westinghouse picture frames have a USB port for that purpose.

Response by poster: noloveforned - I thought I tried that, but it's possible I used a word other than "thumb". Thank you
