If Wifi will go through the Compaq shell, so will mouse signals.
Very neat project.
I wonder if the "what the hell is this guy doing with an ancient laptop" would cause even more jumping to a conclusion like "It must be a bomb!".
Seems like in some places, even though the thing they're alarmed about is harmless, you might get refused boarding or arrested anyway.

Space for a decent 7” touch screen and plenty of batteries, friendly handle for portability and looks like something from a Cronenberg film.
The only thing that’s stopping me is that it feels wrong to break a perfectly functional device. (If anyone’s got any broken eMates knocking around I’d be very interested)
This is awesome. I'm hopeful I can do a project like this someday with a Palm Vx!
