I really want to get off to work on my wearable. I am having trouble deciding if I should stick with the x86 processor or move to something new. Mel suggested small RISC chips made from TI or Motorola. What are the advantages and disadvantages? What about the OS that I should use. I have grown up with and have all of my experience with DOS based and Windows machines. Is it better to stick with what I am familiar with of move to LINUX? Output: many people have started talking about using completely voice outputed wearables. Is this really practical because I would like to see what I am doing. It would be far less obtrusive though. Thoughts? Input: is the twiddler really the best thing or could I build something far better? I'm interested in something that is not required to be held all of the time. The glove idea seems great but I think it should be something mor like the poser glove made for the nintendo. I want my wearable to be dirt cheap. Can I hack a full sized 486 that I own into a wearable computer? Or hack anything at all? Or possibly get a processor REALLY cheap? Thanks, Kent Lofley
