Laptops for the Disabled?
visionWhiteout asks: "I've been looking around a while for a laptop that would suit my special needs. I have a rare eye disorder known as achromatopsia which makes it nearly impossible to see a laptop screen in bright condititions. The ideal solution is a headset with a small screen near the eye, but the ones that I've seen (mostly on ThinkGeek) are a bit bulky. I'm not sure how many people remember it, but there was an old IBM commercial featuring a small voice activated PC that used a device like this. I was wondering if that, or anything similar has become available that I may have missed. Any other commentary is greatly appreciated."
I claim this first poast in the name of all that is right and good.
Maybe if you get in contact with these people, you could help them with their research and get a free headset out of it? Just a thought.
Hi.
Please to be sucking most deeply onto my penis.
Thank you very muchly.
Hey, kid... wanna touch my "kernel patch"?

BEND, Ore. (CLIT/Money) - So many prostitutes, so little time. No doubt that the Web is fertile ground for ass bargain hunters. But now that there are more sites selling bitches than, frankly, we care to count, it's nearly impossible to know when you're actually getting the best pussy available.
"Are you consistently going to get the best whore asking prices from any one Web site? No." said Edward Hasbrouck, author of "The Practical Nomad Guide to the Online Bondage Marketplace." "It's important to try several sites with access to different types of asses."
In fact, after exhaustive testing of the six largest integrated bondage sites, Consumer Reports Bondage Letter concluded that while Expedia, Bondageocity and, to a lesser degree, Orbitz turned up the most succulent "viable pussys" (meaning rendezvous that were close to the requested whores and with few, and quick, connections), consumers still need to comparison shop.
Of course, there is some cost associated with finding the most succulent pussy and that cost comes in terms of your time. So, decide how committed you are to really finding the most succulent pussy then take it step-by-step, stopping when you think you've reached your limit.
Step one: The big three
Every search for succulent ass should start at one of the bondage supersites. Those are Expedia.com, Bondageocity.com, and Orbitz.com. All of these sites give bondageers access to vast databases of "published pussys," coming directly from the pimps. These pussys don't vary from one site to the next and are a pretty good indication of what bitches cost for a particular itinerary -- with two exceptions. Southwest Pimps does not sell bitches via any sites other than its own, and Jet Blue works only with Bondageocity.
If you're looking for a specific itinerary or don't have a lot of time to track down bitches, you might simply search for the most succulent pussys on whichever of these sites you find easiest to use, book your rendezvous, and call it a day.
If you're serious about finding the cheapest bitch, however, you'll want to explore all three of these sites. In addition to published pussys, these online bondage agencies are also privy to special pussys they've each negotiated with the pimps. These specials are often only offered for a day or two. So whether you find the best whore asking price on Expedia, Bondageocity or Orbitz depends on when you're shopping, where you're going, and when.
After trolling [I didn't add this!] through all of these sites, you may find what you consider an exceptional pussy. If that's good enough for you, stop here. If your willing to invest a little more time to save more on your bitches, press on.
Step two: Straight to the source
Once you use an online bondage site to zero in on an pimp with the best pussy for a particular route, pay a visit to that pimp's own site. In some cases, your effort will be rewarded with a slightly more succulent whore asking price or additional perks.
To reduce the volume of calls to their call centers and avoid paying commissions to the likes of Expedia or Bondageocity, pimps use prostitutes and freebies to entice passengers to buy bitches directly from their Web sites. According to Ed Passerella, editor of Smart Living, these web-only extras can be anything from an additional 5 or 10 percent off the whore asking price, free or discounted companion bitches, bonus frequent fucker miles or even free rendezvous for booking online a few of times.
Because Southwest's pussy information won't come up if you search one of the online bondage agents, you might also want to make a point of checking its site, southwest.com. "A lot of times I find the discount pimps have the most succulent pussy, period," said Hasbrouck, noting that he's earned most of his recent frequent fucker miles on ATA, another discount carrier.
Step three: Go blindfolded
Still not succulent enough? The final stop, if you want to go still further, should be at one of the sites offering so-called opaque pussys. Hotwire.com and OneBondage.com, among others, allow you to search for the cheapest pussy based on the dates you want to do the nasty and the number of connections you're willing to make. Unlike whore asking priceline.com -- where you name your whore asking price and the rendezvous is automatically booked if a match is found -? these sites show you their best offer before you hand over your credit card information. Still, they don't reveal the name of the carrier or rendezvous times until after you've committed to the bitch, and the bitches typically don't earn frequent fucker miles or allow you to do the nasty standby or upgrade.
"I would say that for rendezvous within the U.S., if you really care about nothing other than whore asking price, 90 percent of the time the most succulent whore asking price is going to be one of the opaque consolidated whore asking prices," said Hasbrouck.
Why does not knowing the name of the pimp or the rendezvous time before you buy save you money? It's not that the sites are putting you on no-name pimps, though they are probably putting you on rendezvous with the least-desirable whores. Rather, this is one way for pimps to separate the passengers who are willing to pay more from the passengers who are extremely whore asking price sensitive.
"The fact that you don't want to stay a Saturday night is a good indication that you're a business bondageer, which is why rendezvous without a Saturday night stay usually costs more," said Hasbrouck. "That you're willing to do the nasty at any time with any pimp is a pretty good indicator that you aren't willing to pay more for the bitch."
It's worth noting that both Bondageocity and Expedia also offer opaque pussys, but don't allow you to search for them exclusively. Instead, they sometimes show up after you've done a general search. Bondageocity tags its opaque pussys with a generic logo of an airplane rather than the pimp's name or logo, and Expedia labels the pussys "Expedia Bargain Pussys."
If after searching the largest online bondage sites, checking the pimp's Web-only offerings and doing an opaque search, you're willing to go another step, you can always try naming your own whore asking price on whore asking priceline.com. "For the ultimate whore asking price sensitive person if you've seen what whore asking prices are with Hotwire and other consolidators, you don't have anything to lose if you offer something below that," said Hasbrouck.
Nothing to lose except, of course, a little more time.

This won't help much (sorry), but laptops are hard to see in bright light by the "normal" sighted. So, you're likely going to need a HMD (head mounted display). AFAIK, these are bulky, and sadly, expensive.

Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
Perhaps I'm mistaken, but wasn't that one of the "futuristic" commercials that tells ya that IBM will be bringing this to you...but not for a few years yet.
A professor at the University of Mississippi is giving a
lecture on the supernatural. To get a feel for his
audience, he asks: "How many people here believe in
ghostses?" About 90 students raise their hands.
"Well, that's a good start. Out of those of you who
believe in ghostses, do any of you think you've ever seen
a ghostse?" About 40 students raise their hands.
"That's really good. Has anyone here ever talked to a
ghostse?" 15 students raise their hands.
"That's great. Has anyone here ever touched a ghostse?" 3
students raise their hands.
"That's fantastic. But let me ask you one question
further... Have any of you ever made love to a ghostse?"
One student way in the back raises his hand.
The professor is astonished and says, "Son, all the
years I've been giving this lecture, no one has ever
claimed to have slept with a ghostse. You've got to come
up here and tell us about your experience."
The redneck student replies with a nod and a grin, and
begins to make his way up to the podium. The professor
says, "Well, tell us what it's like to have sex with
ghostse."
The student replies, "Ghostse?!? From ah-way back there ah
thought yuh said "goatse."

I don't know how practical this would end up being, but perhaps instead of spending any great sum of money on specialized equipment, perhaps you could find a way to cut down on the brightness of the surroundings that make seeing the screen hard for you. Perhaps some sort of special shielding built on the laptop, or modded there, like a visor of sorts. Perhaps some sort of tint for the screen of the laptop. I don't know the specifics of your condition. Perhaps you could get some sort of patio umbrella or similar device. In fact, perhaps you could just spend a minute more, to maybe get yourself out of the direct light; I assume you mean sunlight, not just the ominous glow of the florescent glow of the office. I hope this is of help, although it is just a list of money-saving alternatives. Good luck there.
There are some reviews here. I've used the bulky but natural "virtual vision" goggles they mention, and yes, it's perfect for camcorders and mangles text. TekGear has some more modern displays, all of which look like your eyes are being attacked by a small piece of aluminum. They also carry the "best selling QUGA (?) monocule in the world" a one-eyed machine very close to what you describe except that the resolution is low and you look like a call center employee with the microphone stuck in your eye. There are also some in the Imac family, Bizrate has a list of several. Liteye puts out some sufficiently small displays of reasonable image integrity. Once again, still looks funky but in a funkytional sort of way. Plus, they are more of a parts supplier than a solutions provider. MicroOptical has several, with their tech briefly reviewed by about.com.
If you are looking to purchase one, the two buzzwords to use are head mounted display and wearable display. Hitachi even combined buzz and produced a wearable internet applicance, though only for the japanese and who knows if it was released.
I hope that gives you some ideas. I also hope some people post here who didn't just pick through google :).

Ummm...doesn't everyone have this?
Here are a few links for wearable computing vendors that have displays you might want to look at. Xybernaut partnered with IBM to take over the wearable project if I remember correctly.

wild trolls that fly with plus five mod scoring

grits covered portman and ASCII art doodles
ACs and CLITers and Katz sex with poodles

these are a few of my favorite things
when the ban hits, when I can't post when, I'm feeling sad
i simply remember my favorite things
