	There was a message posted earlier today regarding a website that 
had inexpensive displays, etc.  It's a wearable computer co-op which is 
aiming to lower costs through buying in quanitity.  They have plans there 
for a PC/104 386 that costs ~US$850, not including hard drive and power 
supply.  That price does include the PD-5 monochrome display ($375) and the 
Twiddler one-handed keyboard/mouse ($200).  If I can get the cash 
together, this is the route that I plan to take.
