For 60 quid... ???

Worth it just to see really. I paid over 500 quid for my first linux
MP3 jukebox header unit jobbie (including shipping from the States).

They might be really frustrating to use, and jump all the time or not
play half the CDs you give em, thought i'd check first. Tis tempting
anyway. Wonder how water resistant they are (to go in my 2A)

Ive just built meself an in-car pc, but havent fitted it yet as i need
to make some long cables up.. Might stick it in the 101 for next
summer, and see how long the HD hold up!

I've just done that in a neat little ammo box, that I use when I am
travelling - its a kin lot cheaper than a laptop, and I can upgrade it
any time I like with mini-ITX technology. It even has water proof
connectors for the USB and ethernet ports !

Got some very funny looks from Egyptian airport security leaving Cairo
though...
