Car-powered Propeller

I threw together a CHAD (cheap and dirty) Propeller laptop for the long drive down to UPEW. I dug out a Parallax shipping box, bolted an LCD TV to the top, punched a hole for the keyboard cable, taped a Hybrid inside, and wired up a power cord to plug into the car lighter. While my wife drove, I was able to do some last-minute Spin coding. Although I'll be the first to say that developing directly on the Propeller is a kooky proposition, I must admit that it is a ton of fun.
