RE: Do you all really think it's safe to be working on your laptop while you
drive????

Joys point is well taken.  I've mentioned this a couple of times before.  A
couple of years ago I did about a 3,000 mile trip with the laptop set up in
front testing out two different GPS/Mapping/Trip planning software
packages.  And the most important conclusion I came to is DON'T try to use
the laptop for navigation if you are solo.  Fine for a co-pilot/navigator in
the right seat but VERY dangerous for the solo driver.  If you want to use
GPS to assist in navigation get a vehicle oriented GPS unit and a dash
mount.  And even then pay very close attention to what you are doing, it's
very easy to get youself distracted.
