Just saw this thread - I have a Powerbook G4 that Bluetooths to either my
Nokia 6600 or my Erikson T610 using Tmobile for "dialup". It's a flat fee
per month...kind of slow but enough to check email on the road. Sometimes
I just keep the laptop open on the passenger seat connected and can hear
new messages coming in. I also have some computer speakers plugged into
the inverter so I can play my music. I now have a new Garmin handheld GPS
(a present from the boy scouts I took out kayaking for a week) and I need
to interface it with the laptop. I think I need a conversion cable from
the serial cable to the mac.

I can use a better way to  have the laptop secured.

Wirless is also good - I have three programs that pickup signals...

I also need a new battery that my inverter connects to - for some reason
the previous owner installed it and the inverter in the lower rear cabinet
- the one in front of  the water tank. I really don't like it there, but
maybe he couldn't find a small enough one to go under the drivers seat.

(the battery doesn't hold a charge after the van is off, has a bad cell)

I like the thread about packing - I am not very good at unpacking as I
would be packing and unpacking every other day!
