| 247871 | 2004-06-27 05:21:00 | Is it ok to use a laptop to play a dvd movie in a moving vehicle? Or is the vibrations going to damage the dvd or the laser in the dvd drive? | Andrew B (867) | ||

The mixed-motion signals to their brain/eyes will be recording one set of movements and their backside/inner ear another. Could be a nasty mix on your average NZ road. :O Alright on a US freeway or German autobahn though. :| Cheers Billy |

| 247875 | 2004-06-27 06:51:00 | Although some people (Myself included) are fine reading or using the likes of a Laptop in a moving Vehicle. I run everything from my laptop... Music, DVD's... You should be fine but battery life may be a bit of an issue, so slow your CPU down as much as you can :-) |
