Comment ODB II Readers are cheap (Score 1) 233

You can buy one at most places for around $60 (US). And a pretty good one at that.

I agree with the speculation of why they don't include it, but for people who have no idea that an ODB II readers is, the additional information that ah O2 sensor is broken won't keep them from taking it to a dealer anyway.

Every independent garage has an ODB II reader.

And no shade tree mechanic goes without. Its time for the car manufacturers to come into the 1990's.

Comment I had a Grid Compass, nice for its day. (Score 1) 135

I used it for half a year, my company got me one to go around the country and do training on a new system we developed. It was connected to an overhead projector converter, where I could show the text on a projected screen.

For its day, it was a wonderful computer, it was tough, and it wowed people.

It was, however, very heavy for its size, and despite its look, it had no battery. It always had to be plugged in.

The display was far more usable than anything else at the time, it was extremely sharp, but as I recall, it was limited to text.

Comment Cisco/Linksys weren't that good anyway (Score 4, Informative) 351

Cisco had limited what Linksys routers could do as to discourage corporate sales.

There are many better choices than Linksys these days.

The N900 is pretty nice, along with dozens. They're cheap (you can get decent non-cisco routers for $30 on sale)

Just use something else.
