I've been toying with this idea as well.  I'd like to have voice 
recognition via bluetooth headset.  I don't know how viable that is, but 
I'm slowly looking into it.

I'm thinking of clustering a number of old laptops.  This is a 
distinctly different direction then dashwerks, as I recall, he used a 
low power motherboard.  The touch screen devices are pretty expensive, 
plus I don't have much space for one, 6x4, maybe 8x4.
