Is there a big demand for such a thing where you are?  I never ran into or
heard about any surfers who complained about the lack of email capabilties
of their surfboards.  ;-)

Onboard computers aren't a new thing.  The nice thing abbout some of the
boards I have seen lately is the low power consumption and higher speeds of
some of the fanless cpu's.  Also some very nice DC/DC power supplies are
being manufactured locally which is nice.  Tad pricey but for field work
those are the types of things that are required and not those cheap
handheld thingies that business types seem to think are good.  I've seen
people try to get away with that sort of thing and fail.

IBM made a computer wristwatch years ago.  No big demand for those either.

Life is good,
Maurice
