I saw this and thought what a neat option. It's called work solutions. It consists of an on board computer, with high speed wireless and a few other goodies, aimed at the service and construction industry.

Can I get one for my Lawn Mower?

They got this one... a joint venture between Al Gore and John Deere

Hmm. You could run a belt to the crank and really have some processing power.

The only processing power I'm concerned with right now involves ice and tequila.

Kind of neat, but I would think that the useful life of a computer would be a lot less than that of a pickup...what do you do when the computer is too outdated to be useful, but the truck is still running?
