	Here is a link to the MIT Wearables web site. BLU has had a meeting at the

Yeah; it's an interesting development, which I've sorta  followed  to
see  where they're going.  But it doesn't seem to be quite what I was
thinking of.  What I've been looking around for  is  not  so  much  a
wearable  system, but rather one that will work on a music stand.  We
have a lot of the software (and music  archives)  in  place  to  make
printed  sheet  music  obsolete.   But  there  doesn't seem to be any
hardware available that's usable enough in on-stage conditions. Being
able to download music on the fly and pop it up on a screen isn't too
useful if the screen will only hold 4 bars  of  music,  or  is  in  a
format that's only readable if you flop your head over sideways.
