I threatened this way back in October, but now it's a reality...
Pokeswagen is no more! From now on she shall be called eWesty! She
features:
- Music playback: FM/AM, CD, MP3, WMA
- Movie playback: DVD, DIVX, Quicktime, WMA
- GPS-based On-screen navigation
- Speech synthesis-based driving directions
- Speech recognition
- Wireless internet access
o Email access
o Instant Messenger access
o VPN (for work)
- Full WinXP "functionality"
- Wireless keyboard & gyroscopic mouse
- Start/Hibernate on ignition
No, Stan, it does not have an 8-track, but it does have a kitchen
sink... <insert rim shot sound here>
My theory was that my '91 didn't have *enough* delicate systems and
wiring to break, so I should increase the complexity of it by an order
of magnitude. Mission accomplished.

Kudos to those of you who regularly document your work. What a royal
