The problem becomes much easier if you toss the PC in the vertical direction and drive the auto on a flat level surface at a constant speed. A few equations you might find useful are: s = 1/2at**2 + v0t + s0 (for the PC) v = at + v0 (for the car, if not at constant speed) f = ma (for the impact) The trick is to drive at a high velocity, then toss the PC up and get out of the way. The general idea is to *only* embed the PC into the car and not the installer. Of course, there is another approach. You could park the auto outside a tall building. Then take the elevator to the roof and toss the PC onto the auto. This ``top/down'' method would preferred by some programmers; but, in my opinion the installer would be too far away to fully appreciate the embedding process. > > The machine in question will be connected to a rather large stereo > system, and he says a Turtle Beach soundcard (Daytona) would work nicely. I agree, the Turtle Beach sound card would work nicely. Quality audio of the embedding process is essential. Having both quality audio and video would be even better. Would you be so kind as to put an mpeg file of the embeding process out on a web site somewhere for all of us to enjoy? There are many days when I would actually like to watch such a multimedia presentation. Thanks in advance :-). -Jim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
