If you're just wanting to watch the trending twitter topics, plug in the power, plug in the ethernet, and you're good to go. Unless your backlight isn't working, in which case you'll to run the python script http://dangerousprototypes.com/2009/11/05/twatch-backlight-control-2/ (http://http://dangerousprototypes.com/2009/11/05/twatch-backlight-control-2/).
If you're wanting to do more, you'll need to learn a lot more about computers, I think.
How do you get the backlight to work,you said install program but how do you do that??
How do you "run the program" and to where??
Hi Mike,
The 'Using it' section at the end of the #twatch article might be helpful:
