Screen?  I don't need no stinking screen.  I want a real *user* interface,
you know, like a DB-25 in my forehead.  Of course, the gender of the
connector would match the gender of the user, so that sex would still
be fun.  All seriousness aside, they make hearing aids that connect
to the auditory nerve, don't they.  Heck, I'd settle for an optical
nerve gateway.  But what would Nancy Reagan and Tipper Gore think?
