It looks very interesting. The fact that it runs MacOS X makes me wonder to what degree it will be able to run non-included OS X applications eventually ...... and whether Apple will open it up so that the user can load them on. Supposedly it is a closed platform and currently there is no...

I'm not necessarily sure of the company you are talking about but you might check here: http://www.ram-mount.com/

>i think you all have convinced me to get a good sleeping bag this week end Good .... ya'll definitely need something. As I sit here and type this it's 6° outside - that's the coldest it's been around here in the last two years, according to weatherman on the news last night. .... it feels...

Yeah, the other thing to watch for is bridges and overpasses - they tend to freeze before anything else, depending on how cold it's been recently. Point being, if it's been fairly warm and then temp drops below freezing you can be cruisin' down a wet unfrozen road and go over a bridge and it...

>in the greater Sevill, OH metropolitan area? Heheheh ..... never been to Seville eh ? I think "Seville" is printed on both sides of the signs ...... I haven't been thru Panther orientation but I live fairly close to the area. Well ..... too bad on the cornfields ..... there's a bunch of...

We've found the Garmins to work pretty well, although most of our use thus far has been parcel delivery while running for my son to help him with his Fedex Home Delivery routes. Typically we would have anywhere from 60 to over 100 drops per day. Since this has been in small trucks (vans) we...

The helo is probably a Hino. You might want to invest in GPS at some point for your laptop. We use standalone units by Garmin so I can't really vouch for how the laptop ones work but there are some threads on EI .... probably in the The Tech Talk Forum. At any rate get one that talks to ya...

Moot, >I didn't realize you owned a dual wheel Sprinter. I don't - but the width between the wheelwells on my SRW Sprinter is about 52" or so - which prevents me from loading 54" X 48" pallets with the long dimension of the pallet across the vehicle (overall length for 3 pallets is 12') -...

Got it on the composite board .... it had crossed my mind, as has some kinda T&G board. The carrier I'm going with is a smaller outfit near where I live - it's not airfreight AFAIK but there is some local stuff. They run mostly midwest and some Canada and mostly automotive-related but nothing...

Mr. Moot, At least initially, the entire 13' 6" (162") will be available for cargo. That's pretty much right up to the triangle holder behind the driver's seat. I may eventually end up putting in a sliding partition, so that I can create a sleeper area. I don't know however whether it's...

Got it thanks ! I was just trying to follow exactly how you were using the strap to secure things. I understand now.

Bryan, Thanks ... good point. It's hard to know exactly what to do when you've never done it before .... fortunately there is EO. :+ I think I'm around 52" between the wheel wells with an overall width of around 62" or 63" fore and aft ..... so if I go 34" or thereabouts on center like Moot...

Moot, Thanks .... 34" sounds good to me. :) I'm not sure what would it take exactly for me to hit the raised ribs on the floor (if there are any) .... came from the factory with a layer of hard board (probably plywood) covered by a non-slip surface (about 1/16 or 1/8 thick .... almost like...

Andy, Thanks ... that's good to know - I get the point - apparently they are pretty tough. Figuring that it was a full drum, it probably weighed in the neighborhood of 400 to 500 lbs. Out of curiosity, how comfortable would you feel if it was a 2500 lb. steel die or large piece of equipment...

Hey Moot, Thanks. Yeah .... got plenty of compressed air and a shop vac here ... oughta be able to keep it fairly clean ..... unless it freezes up. :9 Got it on the drilling .... when I put the bulkhead in I managed to drill one of the holes right above the fuel tank ..... was a real treat...

Wonder if any of you Sprinter owners can help with a question or two. We have a Sprinter 2500 Cargo which we're outfitting to run expedite. It came with the factory tie-down rings (d-rings) bolted towards the bottom of the walls in the cargo area. They are mounted on bolts which screw into...

Hmmm .... well I sort of discovered it in stages .... kinda like osmosis. I grew up in the Akron area ..... I have a very dim recollection of seeing Roberts Cartage trucks as I was growing up. About 30 some years ago when I was around 12 years old we moved from in the city to about 10 miles...
