GPS: been there done that (saved me a couple of times too ;) )

I was impressed when I read about a guy who did an mp3 computer with wireless to get songs into the car......

THAT article is great!

And I'm sure it will become a commercially viable product before too much longer.....

WOW, nice! Maybe if i had that and a webcam on the dashboard, ppl can watch me going down at 130mph down a freeway. =D

That's almost like the 'Rig of the Month' in MaximunPC a couple of months back. Guy built his rig into the dash of his sporty convertable, with disk access behind the glove box door and a big laptop screen at the base of the dash between the two front seats. Said that he did it so he could watch DVD movies or surf the net to pass the time as he drove back and forth between AZ and the West Coast.:rolleyes: :cool:

That's too cool! I wanna try it now. =)

I'm still waitin for that 3G Wireless web that supposed to top out at 144Kbps. THEN I'd probably get a laptop.......Nice, but a little too geeky for my tastes, :D:D:D:D

Is there such a thing as too 'geeky' when it comes to playing with toys...I mean computers???:D :cool:
