From: "Mark" <nomail@hotmail.com>

I don't keep up with all the latest innovations in this field, but it seems to
me that an eyeglass based display would be the most practical solution, for
both (perceived) size, ease of mobility, and power requirements.

Is there some reason that solution won't fly? That is, up until they can
implant the screen right in your eyeball with an internal feed to the source
that's embedded in your abdomen?

It could even be complete with GPS tracking and "RealID" so you can send your
order to Burger King and they can compute your ETA and have the Whopper drop
off the broiler just as you arrive... <g> <hell, they could even superimpose a
picture of the Whopper the way it looks in the commercials to give the illusion
of tastiness as you eat it!>
