[TriLUG] fun (yet stupid) new linux project!

[Shane O'Donnell]

Well, at least you recognize that it sounds dumb...

WRT54G ain't the right tool here -- don't believe you'll get USB
support there (if memory serves, there are no SCSI drivers in
OpenWRT).  You might be able to come up with some IDE file transfer
kludge here using the SD-reader hack, but you're many hops away from
making that work.

I like the Bluetooth idea here, but where, pray tell, is your power
source in all of this?  And who exactly are you planning on wearing
this tumor-generator?

If you're planning on donning a mask and cape along with this helmet
and running through women's locker rooms (like you used to), I'll help
where I can.
