- There was an article in Antic or Analog several years ago about a police agency
- that did just that with 800XLs. Can't recall where or to what extent they did
- it (or why) but I do recall a picture of the inside of the car with
- the computer and a monitor.

- As an aside, it's illegal in most states to operate a television in the front
- seat. I don't think the cops are going to make a distinction between tv and
- your use as a monitor. They'd probably consider it a hazard to driving.
- Proceed at your own risk.
