Jim, I like some of the PDA based nav software (TeleType, Control Vision),
but can't live with the tiny little screens on a PDA. And a nice little
subnotebook computer--even used--is outrageously expensive.

J.C. Whitney sells a Pyramid 7" TFT/LCD monitor for DVD or Videocassette
players (System: NTSC. Video input: composition video signal.) $150.
Will this kind of monitor work with a cheap laptop computer?

That is outside my field of expertise. Any bit twiddlers in here
care to respond?

Dual output laptops (notebooks) use SVGA/SVideo, so you'd have to
convert SVideo or SVGA to NTSC composite to be compatible. The dual
output allows you to have basically 2 desktops, an extension of your
current desktop or mirror the desktop to both displays...
