Don't know if any of you noticed or not but Nintendo seems to have come out with a nifty. They made a camera that works with their Gameboy system as a plug in cartridge. The frame rate doesn't look that hot but from the fact that a gameboy uses 4 AA or 4AAA the power consumption would have to be nice for wearable use. The add that I saw the camera looked a little more pixly then the Gameboy screen and appeared to have a frame rate of about 2-3fps. Also it had stuff on board for adding little animations and pictures and lots of photo editing and clip art adding. Looks like if the interface is easy that it would be a nice thing to have... Best of all the MSRP is $49.95 US which means in a year garage sales will have them for $5 :) Site is: http://www.nintendo.com/gb/gb_camera/index.html Now all we need is linux for the Gameboy... :) -- Todd Freeman CS Unix Support CAST Online Editor Web site: http://www.andrews.edu/~freeman/
