So the solution is to carry several screens. IMO the "Private Eye" is a better solution - and it is available now. This is a tiny device that you wear in front of one eye that projects an image onto the retina. The only problem I envision is that the same people who walk around all day with a Walkman in their ears will also walk around with a Private Eye over one eye. But eventually those people will lose touch with reality entirely, starve to death or whatever, and not bother the rest of us any more. :-S -- Gord Deinstadt gdeinstadt@geovision
