Gee Don, you weren't thinking of transporting Gerry unpowered and dead were
you?  Of course he'd have to be powered up on temporary life support inside
the Vanagons!   They may be a few areas across the country with lousy cell
service but I sure that Jim, TomC, BenT and David will think of a way to
keep him alive during the journey.  How would they manage their newly found
free time if he's not regurgitating all our important stuff?  Have a heart
man, it's just not fair to them.

Yeah, but moving Gerry via Vanagon....Who would you turn to if you were out
on the road, packing the whole List in your vanagon, and the dang thing had
problems?  I mean, one of the most valuable tools I pack along on long road
trips is my laptop so I can get list help if I encounter any mechanical
problems.
  You couldn't just look over your shoulder and go..."Hey Gerry, my
alternator light just came on, any idea what's causing that?"  Nor could you
pry open a server case and look in the Archives, right?
