GarlyDog ô¿ô Old Hand Registered: 04/05/07 Posts: 776 Loc: The People's Republic of IL	I picked up a refurbished Fully Rugged mil spec Panasonic Toughbook at tigerdirect.com. for under $400. It's not the fastest computer, but what a great knock around utility computer. It's got enough giddy up to watch DVD's. I love the touch screen and built-in GPS. _________________________ Gary
