Last night I bolted out of sleep with an idea!
I ripped open my laptop (486 dx100) and found that the motherboard was about
3 inches X 3 inches! and the connector board (the board that holds the vga,
serial, and keyboard connectors on the back of the unit) was small enough to
deal with.. This is a toshiba sattelite alptop. and I have seen them at swap
meets with dead screens for about 100 bucks. (Unit works, dead lcd screen)
This seemed to be an ultra cheap way to go, I'll document what I start with
photos and Keep you guys updated.... (Hmmm ripping apart the Casio camera
must wait first...)  I believe this unit can be stuffed in a largish fanny
pack easily.  Does the twiddler plug into a ps-2 keyboard connection?

Tim, (In search of the dirt cheap wearable)  Gray.
P.S.  How do you tell your significant other that her laptop was accidently
broken?
