P5 development

Below is a little untrue.  The work at Personal Electronic Devices
(PED Inc.) and the associated mailing list () IS the
effort to develop the P5 for a cheap head-up display.  Its not a
separate effort.  Both PED Inc.'s and our involvement is solely for
the hacker community and is basicly being done by volunteers to get a
cheap, easily useable display out there for experimentation.
