LOL.  Country Coach up the road (Junction City) uses a winderz-based
digital dashboard in their pricy RVs (~1+ million).  It's basically
a laptop-sized screen; you see a "Windows is Starting" screen when
you turn the key, followed by a completely digital dash (tac, OD,
speed, etc).  Now those well-heeled aging boomers can crash more
than just their PC!
