Heart Interface

[Tom Warner]

While I have not full timed we do use our coach extensively enough
that I have decided what I want for communications in the coach. I
also have a laptop with software to use my cell phone to access the
Verizon high speed network, use if for a GPS system, and have a card
to access a hotspot if it is available. I now believe that a laptop
is Not the way to go any longer. I am thinking of building a small
computer with laptop harddrives and wireless ability to connect to 3
LCD monitors(one for the passenger and one for the driver and one for
other computer uses), a printer etc. The 2 small LCD monitors will be
used by the GPS system as well a for the back up camera. This will
enable the computer to be installed almost anywhere in the coach and
accessed via wireless.
