please continue to relay to the list your findings; i have in the back of my head for years been knocking around the idea of car-mounting one of these in my rear window (front would be nice but not visible from outside without some serious bodywork in my current vehicle), mostly for the purpose of having a dynamic bumper sticker, and one that could say on demand things like "what part of SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT don't you understand?", "visualize using your turn signals", "hang up and drive", and the like. i know that a device fitting my needs (wireless control, preprogrammable with several messages--i don't want to be typing while i drive) has been available for years in my pricepoint (sub $200), i've just never gotten around to finding it. one that's linuxfriendly&computer-interfaceable would be a real bonus. thanks in advance! _______________________________________________ Siglinux mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.utacm.org/mailman/listinfo/siglinux
