Ok, this gives me a reasonable excuse to install a carpc now...I didn't have one before, but for real time mpg feedback, I'll gladly work to install one. I wonder how cheaply I could get a very small LCD screen to give me the feedback that I need...and I wonder if this would still be functional with EOC techniques.

I'll also be testing to see if it works with Linux under Wine.

::EDIT::

I take that back, I now found an application for one of these....

I'll see about making it do some other stuff to besides just do mpg for the money it costs though...

Or I could just use a normal computer with one of these...

O dear...I'm feeling creative...this usually means something expensive is about to be done...crap.
