I bought it with one...though I have only used a coffee grinder with it...
I don't need it usually but i'm glad it's there.  Once I get settled with
the engine problem, maybe I'll be able to save for a laptop!  I rigged the
radio with an switch so I can keep on the standard battery set-up, or switch
it to the optima and keep it on that. I think one of the perks to the westy
set up is that I won't need a portable with the "home entertainment system"
in the dash.  I'm s  l   o   w  l  y  shopping for a car stereo with remote
that reads CD-RW and MP-3 format!
