Cleaning keyboards is usually a futile venture. There is a guy that sells new ones for $20 that is in Lewisville http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...750255152&rd=1
If you get one I could install it one night at RackDaddys.

That means someone was looking at **** on your laptop before you got it.

Dammit N-O!! Can't you keep it in your pants? We told you you could do that as long as you didn't return the computer. Geez, now Mr. Ed's got it. That's gross!

It's sad that you have to use my pics at night to satisfy yourself. Can't you find a decent good-looking girl to keep you company at night that you can look at face to face in your house instead of via webcam?

I am going to try. This car PC is a pretty high priority for me tho. But Chris, like me, has probably switched more of these out than he would like to remember.

let me know how it all turns out...i am interested to see where you mount the screen. i have a buddy who is a professional installer and just went to full time on his own doing installs. i'm not kidding...this guy is probably one of the best in the country. he is doing a lexus sc430 right now. he brought it by my place last night and it is only about 25% done...FRIGGIN AMAZING!!!!

i think he might be doing the work on my 8...but i am very picky on what i want.

he works out of home right now...he just quit best buy to go on his own. i'm not kidding...this guy is good. he is going to be spending about $50,000 on the Lexus and this thing will be completely motorized. i've known him for years and keep in touch with him from time to time. he plans to start a shop after he is finished with this car. and this will be a competition car he i working on.

The only holdup now is getting the AUX convertor. One place that makes them is on backorder until the end of the month and some guys that just started making them are in beta mode and I did not get on their list quick enough.
I hooked everything up today and tested out the GPS. That was cool.
But I can't play anything through the system yet unless I want to use FM modulation
For now I just mounted the LCD to the dash piece and it actually looks and works very well.
There is not much room under that. I will post some pics tomorrow that shows that. The dash pieces we make are going to give a little extra room.
