- Yesterday, a friend mentioned something to me that caught my ear, and my
- mind. Then I heard the idea yesterday on the Glove List, but felt it was a
- good idea. What about taking the display units from CamCorders to use for the
- eyepiece? I can get 2 for $16 dollars. What I want to know is, should I
- attempt to do this, or would it be a waste of time?
-
- Again, this wasn't my idea.
