ISTM that, in this day and age, the best idea may be to track down one
of the several light-pens that were made for the C=64 (and a program
[like 'Flexi-Draw'?] made for it.) Take the pedestal off of a (10"?)
LCD monitor so that it can be used on the lap, (it would have to have
S-Video input), and have at it with the light pen.

Unless it was a touch-screen LCD, one would best fit a piece of 1/8"
(maybe even 1/16") plexi-glas (perspex) on top of the actual screen to
protect it from the pressure.

I assume that many people in this group can figure out how to hack some
female RCA jacks onto a standard S-Video cable, so that it can be
plugged to the C=64 monitor cable.

The light pen is awkward when used on the vertical screen of a monitor.

What does "500P3R-343373 P33P5" mean? Can someone translate?

It's "super-elite peeps" in the language (orthograhpy, to be more
exact) that only super-elite peeps use. ;-) (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet
for more details.)
