You should not really be on your laptop while driving should you!

I got a cup holder mount (very stable) for my pda from these guys:
[arkon.com...] These guys look interesting too:
[mobiledesk.com...] The magic keywords are: laptop car mount
[google.com...] <unsolicited advice based on close calls>
Be very careful while driving and computing. It is very easy to let your eyes get locked on the screen while driving, only to look up and see a ditch approaching fast. It is incredibly dangerous.

I think that what he means is a desk for when he is parked. Lots of people work out of their car.

Thanks for your concern, Dazz. I'll have a gps unit attached to the laptop, and it will be talking to me, but I will have the laptop closed so it won't distract me. I think that having it talk to me will be much less distracting than constantly looking for street signs. Any other interaction with the computer will be done before I start driving, or while I'm pulled over.

Trust me: when you have a computer in your car powered up and active, the lure is seductive. You'll be reaching for that keyboard before you even realize you've done it. I finally had to just leave it in the case and only use it later when I'd stopped.

I worked for a (now defunct) contractor who installed these in police cars - they were fully positional, had lockable covers and were made of steel - wish I knew who made them! Regards,
Brent
