     I called Panasonic and found out that retail on replacement
     screen/unit for their portable DVD player is $540.  Not too bad for
     that bright of screen though there has to be something out there for
     closer to $400.  Anybody ran into such a creature?

     Boy it would be nice to come up with a PC using off the shelf
     components for under $1000.  Wouldn't have to be super tiny or super
     fast but would run GPS topo software such as Free Flight.

I just stopped in to the local electronics shop (not ours) and saw
Panasonic's new Car theatre system.  It looked like the screen was close
to 10" diagonal and came with their in dash DVD player.

Don't forget guys you must be able to interface these displays with 
PC's. They are not all compatible.
