Yeah, they're pretty proud of those.  The CerfPod is pretty neat (but
expensive) too.

Found some, they look pretty neat.  Allot of nice stuff for under $100.00.
Looks like some real fun.  Too bad it needs 19 volts though, that makes it
tough(er) to put in a car.

I did, pretty neat!  I am wondering what the issue is about having a "glued

make the thing work as a simple pc.  Here is a link I found on e-bay:
