Re: ubiquitous computer

Okay, Okay...  so we don't *need* it...  But we could make it an option...
:)  Where can I find info on the Strong ARM processor?  It probably uses
external program storage.  Right?  Is it easy to program?  Is it risc?  Do
you need a $5,000 programmer to use it (would a student be able to use it.
:)  )?

Done with the questions.  :)

can make the keypad, but I'm too lazy to make a floating pointer or what
ever they said it was.  Would just a keypad like on a gameboy work?
