I love road trips - I have time catch up on reading and thinking (dh is good enough to be the main driver). But I would also LOVE to have a laptop machine - think of all the projects I could finally get to without distraction! :-D I think there'd be a market for this....

Yeah, then you could plug the machine into the cigarette lighter, or the same one you plug in the cell phone charger. With the motor going, it won't take down the battery much.

you might be able to find a non-electric toy or featherweight machine to use on a lap desk in the car :mrgreen:

My aunt used to sew on her Featherweight IN HER LAP. She did alot of sewing for her kids and for others and was always sitting in the living room on the sofa with her FW on her lap.
