Ok, I can understand the utility of having a computer in the car and the article has links on how to give the critter the correct power. But the thing that has been mystifiying me for a while, is how do you drive around and not trash the hard drive on the first pot hole or rail road track that you drive over? Are the notebook sized hard drives that good for shock factor??? I could imagine a fleet of courier vehicles that I could switch over to linux/pc's & 2.4G wireless, if I could be sure that the h/d wouldn't be trashed after a few months of use/pounding.
Anyone with experience doing this willing to share their wizdom? Or should this turn into an ask slashdot?
