I wonder if anyone experimented with one of those ThinkPads
that were made to be used with an overhead projector.  Slide
a nice white diffuser in place of the backlight and take it
outside.  Would probably work real nice if the diffuser were
facing the sun...

Anyone got one of those old 755CV machines (or whatever they were)?
Might actually work as a machine you could use in the field,
especially for those of us that work outside in the southwest.
