[classwife]

While we're waiting, here's another one:

I had to crop the picture to keep from giving it away. The word "down" is from the pre-cropped version and is completely meaningless as far as helping you solve it.

computer mouse?

 

[CES]

usb cat toy?

 

[Poeia]

Not a mouse or a cat toy.

 

[CES]

(it might not be meant as a cat toy...but if it moves it will probably become a cat toy )

If it doesn't move, would it be an audio speaker?

 

[Poeia]

I don't think it moves. It is not wired for sound.

Let me know when you want a giant hint.

 

[CES]

i have no patience, i always want a giant hint , especially when i can't cheat. But since i have to run shortly, i guess the hint can wait till some others have a chance to guess.

Poeia..........Picture viewer?

 

[Poeia]

Nope, not a picture viewer

I'll add the hint when it's been up for a day (about 16 hours from now.)

 

[classwife]

a microphone ?

 

[Poeia]

Nope. Not wired for sound -- going in or coming out.

 

[funnyfarm]

How about a camera for the computer, for video chat?

 

[Poeia]

Not a camera.

And the clue is:
No one here has a use for this… anymore.

 

[CES]

Ah..so it's an ashtray?
