scan/tune software - newbie question

I'm relatively new to 'vettes and even more new to automotive information systems. But one of the reasons I bought the vette was to have a hobby and learn new trick.

I want to get some sort of tuning software, mostly for a learning expereince.

I have an older Toshiba Laptop (very older - ie. 486 based) that I was thinking would be a good "garage computer". My hope would be that I could locate some older tuning and performance monitoring (telemtry?) software that would run on an older system like that.

I have newer systems, but don't like the idea of banging the expensie stuff aronud in the garage or at the track.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

No 'holy grail' out there to my knowledge, read and re-read as much as you can from the Thirdgen stickies and related links, then post your questions here (or there). Someone will be able to help.
