Pres,
I agree with you. I live in Brooklyn a frequent LI I grew up in Floral
Park. I used to be in the auto industry my self. I am a NYS ATTP certified
mechanic in all areas including automotive electronics and computer control
. actually I am going to be putting my lib50 in a tank bag on a motorcycle
to use as a gps system. lets just say if you think the power on a car is
dirty you should try a motorcycle. I think ill stick with my current
inverter set up using the original lib power cord as it hasn't given me any
problems as of yet but will pick up one of the auto air adaptors soon.
thanks everyone for your help. BTW is anybody interested in another lib50 I
know of one for sale here in NY .

I really feel I must pipe in here, because there's a fresh set of faces
trying to do the "obvious" and plug their Libretto in directly to a car.
DON'T DO IT.
I don't care if so-n-so has done it for 22 years. I know electronics, I know
cars, and I know a dumb idea when I see it.
Do you <whomever> really think the $100 adapters that take a cigarette
lighter plug into a Libretto/other laptop have nothing but air inside? NO.
They're inverters, regulators, filters. They do a job. Hooking a $1000+
computer to raw dirty power to save a few bucks is just insane.
Take an oscilloscope and look at the power in a car. Nice and clean. Now
crank the engine. Spikes-noise-crud.
Do what you want, but do not disseminate really bad advice just because you
don't know better and have gotten away with it so far.
Thanks
