Last week I finally sprang for a laptop. Tried to buy a Dell but the phone call went to India and I could understand one word in five,so I bought a HP system with some bells and whistles. It has the capabililty to load a dvd in it and watch a movie. My question is ,if you watch a movie in the...

I have seen about 3 A units in my travels.One was a Ford Ranger Pick up with a cap on it Guy was from Chicago and said it was one of the best kept secrets going as he was always doing 40-50 mile trips,sometimes 2-3 a day.There was a fellow from CTX that had a camper pickup and figured out how to...
