Hey Jim,
Here's a picture of your BWView EEG Viewer running on
(in?) a modified Salvatore Ferragamo signature handbag
(women's designer purse). From the front, it looks just
like a normal purse:

On the back is an embedded TFT LCD panel running BWView:

Above the TFT display is a little text/graphics LCD that
can do 4x20 lines of text or 120x32 pixels of graphics.
At boot time a menu appears on the little LCD display,
and it's controlled with this little infrared remote:

The purse has an IR decoder attached to microcontroller
which passes the button press events to an embedded PC
via RS232 serial port. I am already launching your
BWView program with the IR remote! It wouldn't be very
hard to make the buttons on the IR remote control your
program: channel up/down buttons to scroll between the
screens, volume up/down buttons to control brightness,
and number buttons to control frequency.
I am working on a linux keyboard driver for this
little PDA keyboard to act like a normal keyboard:

There's still lots of room in the purse for the EEG
hardware, and 40 watt hours of battery power are
already onboard.
