Question 1- most of y'all seem to be doing this in acadameia or in your
spare time.  Is anyone doing this as part of their full time work,
i.e.  a general coder job, but using a wearable?

What sorts of psycological trauma to you inflict upon your boss, boss'
boss, and co-workers?  This is my situation - working full time at
Silicon Graphics working with software, and am frequently at meeting
where they say "and what about bug number XXYZZ?? and nobody can
remember it; I'd like to be able to call up the bug # from the system.
Obviously I'm going to be setting up some sort of wireless network in
the office, but I'm more interested in what kind of backlash I'd be
getting from the people around me.

Question 2- has anyone considered using the new lcd camcorder
viewfinders or 3"-4" screens? crl (http://www.crl.co.uk/) has some
640x480 and 800x600 screens that are 1.339in and 1.299in diagonal size
(about 598 and 770 dpi respectively)  I'm considering the possibility
of using a screen like this that is semi detatchable so that I can hand
it to someone else to view the data i have accessed.

Would be interesting to add a few buttons to the viewfinder so that
they can scroll around the document, at least.

But wait, there's more!

Question 3- Does anyone have/use an external vga port on their person
so that they can hook up to an external monitor to show data to more
than one person?  How do you guys handle handing data off to someone
else?
