I've got a real dislike of voice recognition software ... besides which if my libby actually KNEW what I was saying to it half the time it'd probably pack up and leave! ;-) >Wow, I >really like that image - walk around wearing your computer and talking to >it.......I get the strange looks already at the airport when I haul out my >L110 and >paraphenalia! *sigh* you're probably one of those people on trains that looks as if they're speaking to ghosts because they've got a wireless cellphone earpiece in the ear that you CAN'T see ... speaking of which I wonder if thats a possibility if you REALLY wanted to go voice recognition ... bluetooth headset and a bluetooth card in the libby ...

A green rubbery thing with a 5mm keystroke ... was a nightmare to type on. I much prefer the touch of my Palm folding keyboard. >- it's a USB unit with no brand name. Ah ... this was PS/2 (and the salesman said the USB version wouldn't be out for a while) ... perhaps it was a different brand ... either way, flimsy things like that really don't work for me ... >Rather than roll it up to pack >I leave it flat in the middle somewhere of my bag and let it conform to >whatever >else goes in or I slide it unrolled into the edge of the bag along where >it zips up >as the final packing act. With the way I pack MY bag, it won't last long like that ... it gets so rough and tumble in there that everything remotely delicate gets packed into boxes. > As for chewing up batteries I almost always find an >outlet to plug the AC adapter into or use a Power Xtender in the car, >plane, etc. I >guess I don't wind up in frontier areas often where there is no power >available! I'd hardly class a lecture theatre as a frontier area (its not yet fashionable to bring laptops into lectures round here so they've not fitted the desks with data/power points yet). >After spoofing about the membraneous fullsize LCD I started thinking - why >not a >pair of monitor glasses (like those TV glasses from a few years ago?).

Thats what I'm talking about with a spectacle projector ... a little projector that you clip onto your spectacles and projects an image onto the back of them. Failing that I guess one of those 'Private Eye' style monochrome eyemount displays would work and would be quite a bit cheaper ... >Raymond, you are picky but I love that, so am I! Picky no.
