New garage tool...
Been wanting one of these for the garage for a while. Tired of running inside and back to garage for info, checking email and, of course, checking on the forum. So, I bit the bullet

That is one more thing I need to add. In fact I am wondering why I have a house at all. I already have a mini fridge, dvd, TV, stereo set up in my garage. And now I see that I need a computer too.
I can see where that would come in handy. I would get one of those plastic keyboard covers to keep the grease out of the keyboards though.

WHOO FREE SPARE BATTERY DUE TO PANIC OF STOOPID PEOPLE!!! (tell em you tossed it and keep it for 2nd battery)
durn it, my Dell Lattitude Lappy purchased in the recall-window isn't one of them
um, yeah, anyway wireless lappy and CF helps out bigtime when your car is in the shared-garage of the apartment building and won't start.

A computer is great in the garage. Now I can get help from the forum while I am working on the Vette. Also great since I have all my spare parts on an inventory because I forgot what I had and was buying parts I already had. I have everything on an Excel spreadsheet now which allows me to search for parts. Everything is in plastic numbered bins so I can finally find anything I need instantly. Computer also comes in handy for playing music and checking e-mail.
Between the stereo, fridge, coffee warmer and computer, only reason I need to go in the house now is for the bathroom. Maybe I should order a PortaPotty,,,,,,

I'm using an older IBM Thinkpad, 256ram, 20gigHD. It's kinda slow, but it was free. My wife is tight with the IS guys where she works and she brought it home last year. I got it connected to our wireless network.

A cordless laptop in the garage would get lost out in my garage or broken. I need more room no doubt. I am just a little jealous. A laptop would be great with my LM-1.
