Although having to refocus would be even worse, I don't think the problem with a car computer is the display. The problem is the distraction. With _any_ output technology -- video or audio -- the more information you're trying to process the more distracted you're going to be. There are some reasonable applications of car PCs, such as acting as glorified stereos and navigation systems, or logging telemetry or vehicle diagnostic data for later use, or acting as full PCs WHILE STOPPED, but trying to use one for driving for anything more complicated than speaking driving directions or the like is stupid and dangerous. --=20 Jack Gruendler <> "They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin _______________________________________________ Wear-Hard mailing list
