why do ppl think that ppl who work computers are smart.. theyve just learnt about them same way doctors and electricians learn their trade.

i want computer in my car too. maybee in a few years when cars come with pc's built into them will i be more enthused to bother paying for it or wiring it or even bothering to use it when im done. eg wirelessly send mp3's to my car from a computer inside the house.

Mini ITX style box
tv-out onboard
touchscreen LCD (at least 7")
24bit digital audio output, going into your system
firewire/usb2 external hard drive(s)
DVD-RW or at LEAST a DVD reader (possibly external, eg in dash near LCD screen
multiple card reader memorystick etc
PCMCIA slot onboard (for your laptop cards)
bluetooth or WIFI scanning for hotspots
oodles of hard drive space for all your movies and mp3 and whatever else (datsun drag video clips)
unwired internet w/ stealthy external antenna
rubber foldable keyboard (for emergencies)
mouse or rollball
xbox / ps2 boring but still have em for your friends
sat nav
digital radio
internet radio
all i can think of. all of this is available now - theres lots of windows programs which are designed for the above tasks.. some of them are free..

not sure if this is freeware or gpl or what..

#### people all of you smartr people need to go get an IQ test.
What the #### would you want a laptop in a 1200 ute for?
Simple so you can check out www.datsun1200.com while cruising

OK, with the greatest of effort, i will resist yet another smartarse reply,... but i do have one question.

What is it that you wish to do with this laptop in your Datsun 1200 ute?

How is this for smart
get a drivers side seat from a coupe. Bolt it in the passenger side.
When you need the laptop push the lever, seat pops forward and laptop is velcroed to back of seat.

I'll help ya out 'cause I'm smart...

Chuck it in the tray - plenty of room there.
Get yourself a computer desk and chuck it in too.

Get an extension cord from Bunnings to power it - they're on special at the moment.

They are 25m long so, in order to calculate the number of extension cords needed, multiply the number of kms from start to destination by 40.

I think that answered your question...

I have an idea,buy my spare parcel tray and slip it in there.

If it's for Mp3's get an iPOD if it's for other engine managment what wrong with the passenger seat (haven't you seen the fast and the furious) and if it's to look cool well i don't know then.

what do u want the laptop for? fuel management 'ecu' or just mounted in there so u can stream mp3s from it or some odd ball reason?

My son is 9 years old. He knows when and where to use capital letters and correct punctuation. I guess that explains the title of this thread.

Idea#1 Buy a Motec ECU and plug the laptop into it.

haha....ummmm....what?
