Re: wearable ideas (ELIZA SOURCE)

Melanie & all,
I'm also relatively new to this list, and I'm a student at the University of
Dayton (in Ohio) and I am doing Computer Science (Programming), with that in
mind, I don't have a huge budget for a wearable, but I do want to get one
together sometime. Melanie, Could you get me that code for the "teachable
software" ? I think that would be really cool. Also, for everyone, I was
randomly searching the internet for diffferent Linux distros, and I came
across one that is only 16Mb in size. I thought that was pretty neat, it
does have some X stuff included, and Esd (E sound), the url is
http://jailbait.sourceforge.net/ Unfortunately, I didn't run across any
Distros that I was looking for, namely distros that aren't really distros,
more like Do-it-yourself distros, or a "Make your own distro" kinda thing.
I'm pretty sure as of now that I want to do OS type programming, so I want
to try that out and see what I can do. If anyone has heard of such a thing,
can you please relay that info to me? I'd be thankful.
Thanks
Mark
