I am sure having a VAX strapped to your back would be much better. :)
With all the new technology and die shrinks couldn't you fit a 486 or
Pentium into a wristwatch these days? You could then network the unit to a
set of eyeglasses via RF for display (overlay). Use a sensor to detect eye
movement and position as a "mouse". Only problem would be a useful power
source, beats lugging a PDA around.
I don't know if I'd be wanting a Pentium
strapped to me on a hot day.
