Re: Newer wearables?

From: Danny Silverman <>

My (very expensive, but still less than a Via or Xybernaut) brew:
Espresso PC ($799) - 466 celery/64MB Ram/6GB (?) HD, Floppy, CD
Truckload of Sony Infolithiums ($300)
Twiddler ($199)
MicroOptical Display (maybe, if it ever comes out or my company approves it
for testing for our new system) ($2000)

Totao: $3300 + work.  I also plan to figure out MFC some day so I can make a
decent interface to the thing on the screen.  And no, I don't know Linux,
because i'm an idiot.  I'll learn it some day.
