Ken's really becoming more and more a Geek:)

Excellent combo .... Vanagon & Computers

Way to go Ken.

Now let's get some deals up on your site for GPS Systems, Jotto Desk
Laptop Brackets, LCD TV's and such.

Ken's suggestions look like good solutions for some folks.

But please remember ..... make sure you have a newer, faster laptop.

Based on my recent expereince .... I wouldn't try any of these devices
without having at least a 500Mz processor.

Better would be a 1Gz P4 processor.

Also USB will always be somewhat limiting.

Just can't get a lot of data thru that pipeline.

A better approach might be Firewire.

Good Luck,

Lar

Just FYI, I was looking at my favorite computer vendor
http:www.computergeeks.com and found three different TV things for desktop
PCs.  Two of these are cards that allow you to not only view TV on your
computer but also use your hard drive as a VCR.  There is a USB unit as well
that Larry may be interested in.  Here is a more specific link to the page:

This stuff is pretty cheap.  They all come with remotes (when you want to
sit more than 1 foot away from your computer :)  Just FYI.

Thanks,
