My suggestion would be a device that let's you control your computer wirelessly.

You place it on your hotbar and rightclick. Now it asks for a computer id. as soon as you type it in a login dialog appears(you can turn the security feature off in your PC) Now you have full access to the computer. Maybe you could even add a little connection display like the ones on a mobile phone. The recipe would contain at least a diamond, a modem and some gold

Hope you like my idea and please give feedback or suggestions

So what you mean is actually a simplified rednet PDA?

No not at all. Just a device that has the same effect as rightclicking a pc. Opening the computer's Interface and gives access to all data. And to make it less OP it needs to have a rednet connection

I think the best way to do this would be to make the item its own combined computer/wireless. when you craft it you have to craft it with a disk, and any files on that disk are included on the pda. so If you want to add new programs without typing them you would have too include a ftp program when you first make the pda.

As I said it is only a control unit for the computer not a stand alone computer

Even better would be a remote control for turtles. I think thats its stupid that all the controllor programs dont allow you to see the turtle.
The remote would fix that.

I like the idea of a remote for computers. It might be better it you had two remotes. One for computers and one for turtles.

I want to make a plane with redpower frames. People can access their own computer for in-flight entertainment using this :P/>/>
