wearable keyboard review

I bought a L3 Systems WristPC keyboard:

a very small, wrist-wearable weather-tight keyboard.

Summary: provisional thumbs up.  The keys are mounted inside a grid.  This
keeps them from being accidentally hit, but also makes it hard for fat
fingers to type quickly.

The feel is "smooshy".  There are a bunch of keys missing (including one
that was needed for my password!  D'oh!)

There aren't any function keys, so switching console sessions is kind of a
pain.

If you have big hands, you can thumb type on it.

Its a very bad emacs keyboard, because the escape key isn't where it
belongs.  :-)

However, despite its flaws, I still like it a lot.  Its roughly the same
size as a dollar bill, and has loops for wrist mounting.  I'll have to come
up with some creative key bindings, but it will work well for my needs.
