    Mmmm. It'd be quite large. Bit like a Borg arm implant.

    Say about 4inches long by about 1inch wide, and about 1cm high.

    I assume you mean as such so the 4 inches goes round the wrist?? If so ye that sounds good ^-^

    If you mean the 4 inches goes up your arm, i say !!!!!!! Just give me the eye implant and I've been assimilated :P

    yep, 4 inches up the arm. sorry.

    trouble is that for a single person to make this stuff all that's available is industry standard components. a dodgy digital watch they'll design once and then mass produce by the million in China.
  • Awww see I would love one.. but think I'd look a bit too OTT :( Thank you anyway though nice thought :)

    Actually.. coming back to that.. it'd be nice to have one by the side of my bed on the wall or whatever.. improve me hex anyway! hmm

    If this was started as a joke (I don't think so), I can't help but feel that it was misplaced.

    I think you are forgetting the purpose of this board, and where it is. It is not a 'techie' board buried in the middle of a developers, or network admins forum. It is a board that fellow members of MSE can come and ask techie questions, no matter how simple they are.

    A lot of times, a few people may read a question in here and wonder how someone doesn't know something so simple. They are asking because they don't know, and this board was set up for them get help in.

    A few people may see the joke in this thread. I think it could appear insulting to a lot of people. This board is open to every member of MSE, not only to those that work in IT.
