[geeks] Wearables

[Zach Malone]

Sweet rescue!  PGA PC-104 based machines cost quite a bit new.  Check out
the Twiddler 2 and the PIC-Key keyboard, a full sized PS-2 mouse and
keyboard are inpractical for wearables.  For a monitor, the M-1 display is
the best value at present (IMHO), it is a 320x240 monocular style B&W
display, at present they go for around 450-500$ new.  Sony camcorder
batteries are the current popular battery for wearables, as they are light
and carry quite a bit of juice.  I think thats pretty much it, good luck,
the wear-hard mailing list seems to be kind of the heart of the wearable
community, youmight wish to check it out.
