I have already have a 7 inch remote touch screen= incorporated into my panel and have been waiting for the right pc. I ha= ve planned this for a while, before the slew of netbooks and was concered= about the expense of a solid state drive......back when I was firs looki= ng at the idea, it was pretty darn expensive. But the netbook options so= lves about every issue I would have. I use Anywhere Map (lifetime subscr= iption) and really like it. I also hope to also keep most all needed inf= o on it in PDF (or whatever). Will not need that much CPU power and are = so small and light it now seems like a no brainer. I do not plan to even= keep the acutal netbook out, just the touchscreen and a remote interface= (trackball...touchpad, not sure yet), however, if I need the keyboard, I= hope to be easly able to access it. =20 OH and on a rotary note, I recieved my new injectors today. These are th= e 660cc 's that were recomended for the Mistral intake by the Mistral test Arrow = test pilot. I will try to install them this PM. I hope they fit as they= look much different than the old injectors. They are also high impedanc= e so I can remove the 4 resistors used with my old injectors. One less c= onnection to fail. =20 I have to finish my re-wire before I can try to crank 'er up again, but y= ou can bet I will share the experience . =20 All the best, =20 Chris =20 Cpl.
