Hmm.. a lap top in a modern single seat glider - I migth be able to find a
place for it *somewhere*...but the location will most likely make it
unusable. Also builtin equipment looks much cooler :-) Anyway, if powerusage
end size of equipment isn't a problem a lap top could be used. It's just a
matter of adding support for it.
