That's really great news. But one thing concerns me. If I recall 
correctly, they are using a PCMCIA card for interfacing. If this
is the case, it may not work with linux without custom drivers :(
Do you know if there are ways to interface with a standard DB15 
VGA cable? I am guessing that the PCMCIA driver card comes with 
an install disk, which is bad news ....

I can live with opaque, and perhaps they can be hacked for
"monocularity" (new word I just invented). But if the PCMCIA 
interface requires custom drivers (I'm almost certain it will) 
they may be totally useless on linux (BTW Rich, we don't need
to be reminded of the joys of windows wearables).
