26. I know I'm weeks late and I'm sure nobody will read but hwy not, I've been running a linux based MP3 player in my car for about two years now. With a 4x20 Character LCD screen , RF Remote, and a cool "shutdown" button just like does to command a missile in the movies. Anyways; the link provided shows some of the installation plus a wacky connected-to-it project (playing a Ferrari's engine's sound through my speakers, depending on the RPM+Throtlle position switch of my own car - in real time); more functional pictures can be found at: http://nestor.homedns.org:30000/newalbum/index.py?admin=0&oper=list&dir=././20041018
27. There is a word for those who utilyze discarded technology to enrich their society, their lives... But I cannot even find it! Can you find it and post it to me? I recall it has two sylables, and 7 to 8 letters. Something like Hodgling or Muckler... Otherwise, this site, and the WWW is precisely perfect, for me!
