Hi, I'm verry new to wearable computers. I don't even have one. But I =
hope to get the funds soon to build my own. Now I have a question for =
all of you. Has any one ever thought of using the LCD screen out of a =
game boy, the little hand held game systems produced by nintendo? the =
dimentions of the screen are 1-3/4" x 2". and the new color gameboys =
have a colored lcd screen. My gameboy will run for quite along time on 2 =
AA batteries so I asume the power drain is negligble. It may be hard as =
hell to hack the screen to display video input but.....

If anyone has tried this let me know

Brandon Macmillan
