In Edinburgh, in November, pocket means a large patch pocket in
a GoreTex jacket.  I walk to work and back every day, whatever the
weather.

Even in summer I'm usually wearing a light jacket - usually of
the "pull-over" kind with a "bib pocket" at the front.

I'm not talking about a jean's pocket here...

I've explained how moving back and forth in the "text" might work
(rocker switch).

Really I posted here to see if anyone could give me advice about
what kind of hardware is available for this kind of product rather
than to discuss my clothing and whether other people could be
bothered to learn Morse.  What I need is a low power CPU + memory,
clock, power which is easy to interface and easy to program.  I was
wondering if people still needed to blow EPROMS etc or whether I can
buy a small kit that plugs into my PC's parallel port and downloads
code directly into some kind of battery-backed memory...  (or
anthing along those lines - I haven't played with hardware for
ten years, things must have changed).  Or should I buy a Psion or
similar and interface directly to that?  (Means carrying the Psion
around too, though - and they are not cheap).

Cheers,
Andrew
