Of course, you do have to ask yourself, how hard can it be to push a button? For not an awful lot more than $10 you could build a suitable control module with a PIC16F84 and standard code fragments available around the 'net that'll plug into the libby's serial port (or perhaps you could even bring the serial port lines out yourself and do away with the minidock), with a few buttons that you can arrange nicely on your steering wheel, gear stick or wherever you could reach them without taking your eyes off the road and control things that way. I'm pretty sure there's a serial control plugin for Winamp (originally designed to let a Palm or HP calculator control Winamp) that could be used for this purpose ... - Raymond ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
