I think the perfect product for someone to manufacture right now,
would be a set of fancy enclosures with provision for the standard
set of dot matrix type LCD's, a membrane keypard, an on/off switch
and a battery compartment.  There must be many other people out
there like me who want to manufacture a low quantity product that
still looks proffesional, but can not afford to spend the enormous
amounts of money to have their own one made by means of  injection
molding.

I have looked everywhere for such a box, and even though I did find
some that made provision for a display window.... the window was
usually a very odd size that no LCD could fit into.  What I am really
looking for is a small handheld box that can accomodate 4 x 20 line
LCD display and a membrane keypad.

Maybe there is someone on this list who knows where to buy just such
a box?  If so I (and I'm sure a whole lot of other Piclisters also) would
be very happy if you could share this source with the rest of us.
Otherwise, I hope that somewhere, someone with a sense of making lots
of money will recognise this shortcoming in the electronics industry
and start making us some nice proffesional looking boxes.  I'm so
desparate for something like this now that I wouldn't even mind quite a
hefty price for a suitable box.
