Thanks Greg, order placed. Now for the practical. Can i run this with a small palm type processor, something that doesn't get in the way so much?

Anyone using one of those "mini" laptops? Something I can toss into the center console.

I am considering building a computer in to my truck.

Ok for the novice and not very mechanically incline like myself should i try it or stay with my PPE. any and all suggestion would be appriciated.

Interesting idea Tony. I have the NAV system. Wonder if I can add a video input to it, like the rear camera video feed. Add a flip down keyboard...

I am sure you could but i am not sure if the small screen would have enough resolution to work with.

I am sure you could upload and download tunes with it but I don't think you would want to tune with such a small screen. You'll have to get wireless internet in your garage too ;) I can access my network on my laptop while in my truck. Very handy.

I have a big honkin laptop, not real suitable even for airline seats.

Hence the question about mini's.

Me too, My dad has a nice small laptop that I have been using, no problems.

Guess I'll have to find a local. The only person I would want to do it isn't real fond of me, as you know.

Diy!
