No, I'm serious. People will get used to it. Like elevator music. Or beachside
conversations about "freshness". 

I think I can make a living doing this. I'd have the server linked to a credit
card account. Whenever I was in the process of making a purchase,
advertisements would be routed to the display for say, 5 minutes.

Does anyone know of an 800x600 driver for the Cirrus GD6410 chipset? My 3125
and 3130 have 256KB of video RAM. I could never get the included driver to work
in these other modes, or with the variety of options offered. If I had a
virtual desktop 800x600 it would be easy to full-screen a document retrieved
from a server.

One of the other ideas for a wearable was a Quick Cam. I think that' s been
done to death already hasn't it? Quick Cam on head, play back on back showing
deja vu of most recent capture, voice control of record and play back.
