NW - Off Topic I had read about this a month or two ago, it sounds pretty interesting to me. I can see a bunch of possible applications, such as folks at construction sites that could view plans/blueprints anywhere onsite by simply calling them up on the wearable PC. Also, repair techs could find them useful. Nothing like calling up a repair procedure right there while working on it. As crazy as it sounds, I could even see it as somewhat useful for light work on aircraft, since your laptop these days is likely to get crushed (at least in economy), when the guy in front of you decides to recline a couple millimeters <ggg>. For that matter, connect a DVD drive to it, and who needs movies on an airplane. I'm not familiar with the company IBM is working with, but the concept is intriguing.... John
