This may help for that in-dash installation you've been thinking about ;)" Cool engineering inside -- interesting to see the various companies that make the pieces going into one of these things, and a brave guy to take one apart. (iPAQs are still about 3 years from eBay prices for me.)

    Why, oh why can't we just leave good enough alone? I mean, clay tablets are good enough for anyone. Why did someone have to go out and tinker with the design. Paper, I mean, yeeesh! The stuff burns! We shouldn't ever tweak any designs, it just messes things up!

    Why did people have to take apart the math theories of the Pythagorean crowd? It was good enough in their hands alone. I mean nobody else needs that knowledge, right? We should leave stuff like that into the hands of professionals alone.

    Especially those computers. I mean, what would happen if just anyone could make one in their garage? I mean, those pros at Apple never started by tinkering, I bet!
