eh? you have other plans for the bed on the return trip or are you just
weird? =)
I can play shuffle too for you, most likely. I'll have some rims at
least, likely with tires, to be bringing with me, but I expect to have
plenty of bed room leftover.

that is the coolest, geekiest thing ever. I LOVE it.
I also expect cell coverage to be weak, and not high speed. So we may
still want to try to NAT the campground's connection for better
performance while at base camp.

That looks a lot more doable this way than the weather baloon wireless we
were contemplating for the BBQ 2 years ago =)

if it's the same one that I saw at Office Max I think it was a week or two
ago it's a dim-ass pile of crap that doesn't do "DLP" justice. I think it
was powered by a 100w incandecant bulb from the look of it. yuck!
Just my humble opinion of course.... =)
