Has anyone had any experience with these? Without a trailer or cave to retreat into using a laptop at El Mirage is very difficult.

It is way worse at Bonneville... I use a hood to see most of the time

I've resorted to staying in the shade to be able to view my laptop screen. As in under a pop-up tent, or inside a trailer. I've also made up cardboard and duct tape "hoods" when truly desperate. A game assistant with an umbrella works too, although I've never had one of Tony's caliber . . . . (I guess that's why LSR isn't F1 . . . . . .)
I just have not found an anti-glare screen that stands up to full sun . . . . . . Not sure there is one.

The Bockscar must be wider than it looks.

The body is 24 inches, when it was a streamliner we would lift it in the back door of the school bus. As a lakester the wheels are too wide to fit the back door of a school bus and we are too old to lift it!

I use a $200 netbook that isn't bad under the car shade but in the sun it is a towel over my head and the computer,

This is why military laptops and other screen displays are so expensive- they must be "sunlight readable". $$$$$$$$$$$

We have a large cardboard box on a table that works pretty good.

With all the space in the Midget, I just set it on top of the fire bottles on the passenger floor.
You guys need doors and tops . . . :-D

Funny how technology fails to solve basic problems sometimes! :x :-o :-D

I'm wondering if there is a way to integrate the laptop video output to a smart phone . . .

It would require the ability to type without looking at the keys, and you'd look "Star Trek Stupid" doing it, but it eliminates the glare.

Chris, Miss Oppenheimer, my sophomore typing teacher that was spectacularly endowed (at least to us tenth-graders :roll:) managed to teach me to type without looking at the keys. And I've been doing it since before Star Trek.
And she was worth it to this adolescent! For what it's worth, I learned well -- type in the 100-words/min range. :cheers: :cheers:
Ah, the adolescent fantasies that come roaring back. Thanks.

Jon;
You just reminded me of my freshman high school French teacher, Miss Vaughn-- Sarah Vaughn (no kidding). A tall black-haired beauty. We paid close attention in that class! She later married an Italian Count.
