This is a fine pieces of aluminum work from http://www.spacewalker.com.
It is a bare bones FV24 1 gigi hertz CPU with a 60 gig drive
and a DVD CD R/W. Up to one gig of DRAM. It is a little bit wider 
than an aircraft radio. It almost fits in a stock radio stack. 
Less drives, CPU and memory it is $249. Dimensions are 7.5 x 6.5
x 10 inches deep. Weight less drives 5 pounds.

It will run dozens of off the shelf, low cost, aircraft related software such 
as moving map, simulated 3D terrain views and engine monitoring software. 
You are not locked into any one software vendor. http://www.free-flt.com/ 
It is also a very capable data acq computer. Loads of I/O too numerous to
list here. Check their web site

The Sharp 15 inch 1024 by 768 LCD flat screen monitor in the back ground
runs off 12 volts DC. Very bright 3.8 amps.

When I am not using it in the airplane I can run the newsletter off it.
I'll be using it in OZ to run this newsletter.
