Some People Just Don't Understand

Hey guys, even though I have little interest putting a PC in my car (sorry, and yeah - wtf am I doing here?), I can't see how OPs (Other Peoples - a famous brand of cigarette favored by my mates!) can bang the idea so hard.
I expected a "great - why didn't I think of that?".
But then again, I usually can't figure out OPs. (Much like most of you can't figure me?)

However, with the multitude of vehicles now released with in-dash screens that select your audio, display the GPS, etc - why do they have that attitude?

Oh well, I do keep select company. (And select forums.)

So fark them - keep at it. Whether a hobby, a ridiculous expense, or a waste in hindsight, YOU are leading edge. And IMO this is useful multi-skill and platform experience - it's hard getting that these days!

BTW - why not a car PC now? For me, that was over 25 years ago...
Plus I still drive sideways.

PS - and I too think like those in Gallery's next reply.

My story is all my friends do not want to have a vedio device in their cars, just they would like the tablet PCs which can be took to anywhere.

I caught so much hell 20 years ago about my tablet install cause it didn't look "OEM", now watching everyone scrambling to install tablets, iPads, and smartphones just makes me laugh!

If you had a BMW with I-Drive or a Ford with Sync would you ask people to check it out these days? Naw. I dont talk about it, there is no point. I just enjoy it as a hobby and the challenge of putting together a system that has better sound quality, more features and total customization at a fraction of the price as the big car guys.

iDrive and Sync have their merits, but I expect I would tire of them quickly and they would only serve to impress on first notice. The PC can evolve and grow.

VIVA LA CARPC!
