  I would first like to thank Hugo Fiennes for the palmcorder screen
idea....though so far I have not figured out why they haven't been
used before. I went to a repair shop and asked about them, and was
told I could get the CRT and related electronics for about $220
(Canadian). They had a couple of full palmcorders there so I put them
up to my eyes....what a difference between these and LCD's!!! OK, so
they are only monochrome B&W.  The resolution was fantastic! And they
weigh next to nothing!

  Anyway, what does everybody else have to say about this? Has anyone
tried to build or use and HMD based on these video units? Does anyone
see any problems?

  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
